Looking for the American dream? An intercultural management perspective on the business diaspora at the USA–Mexico border

Óscar Javier Montiel Méndez and Araceli Almaraz Alvarado

Chapter 12 in Research Handbook on Transnational Diaspora Entrepreneurship, 2023, pp 246-266 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In terms of labour markets, the migration phenomena have been mostly approached from the perspective of low-skilled, low socioeconomic Mexican migrants to the USA. Understudied, both empirically and theoretically, are the entrepreneurs that, living on the USA-Mexico border, one if not the most important dividing line in terms of migration in the world, and under a forced migration process generated by Mexico’s Drug War and violence spiral that this and other factors generated between 2007-2012, migrate to the USA and establish the businesses they once operated in Mexico. A call is made to address this social fact from the theoretical standpoint of international entrepreneurship (IE) and diaspora entrepreneurship (DE), and intercultural management (IM) lens, to understand and explain the multidimensionality of mobility entrepreneurs throughout other international borders and regions.
