Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-employment is an option that has been considered a viable economic alternative for minority populations facing barriers to gainful employment in the traditional wage and salary labor market in the U.S. This book examines whether self-employment is an opportunity that will enable the Hispanic householder who resides in the Southwest portion of the United States to earn a living that will keep his/her household above the threshold of poverty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics account for more than half the population growth in the United States over the last decade. With this surge has come a dramatic spike in the number of Hispanic-owned businesses. Hispanic Entrepreneurs in the 2000s is a pioneering study of this nascent demographic. Drawing on rich quantitative data, authors Alberto Dávila and Marie T. Mora examine key economic issues facing Hispanic entrepreneurs, such as access to financial capital and the adoption and vitality of digital technology. They analyze the varying effects that these factors have on subsets of the Hispanic community, such as Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Salvadorans, while considering gender and immigrant status. This account highlights key policies to drive the success of Hispanic entrepreneurs, while drawing out strategies that entrepreneurs can use in order to cultivate their businesses. Far-reaching and nuanced, Hispanic Entrepreneurs in the 2000s is an important study of a population that is quickly becoming a vital component of American job creation.

Download or read book Self employment Among Hispanic and Immigrant Populations written by Chunbei Wang and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation contributes to the understanding of self-employment among Hispanics and Immigrants. The first essay focuses on the most disadvantaged subgroup of Hispanics - Mexican-Americans, and analyzes causes of their low self-employment rate by studying self-employment entry and exits utilizing panel data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). Our results indicate that differences in education and financial wealth are important factors in explaining differences in entrepreneurship across groups. Importantly, we analyze self-employment by recognizing heterogeneity in business ownership across industries and show that a classification of firms by human and financial capital "intensiveness", or entry barriers, is effective in explaining differences in entrepreneurship across ethnic groups. The second essay focuses on immigrants and the impact of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on their self-employment decisions. Using the CPS Basic Monthly Data 2000 to 2005, we find interesting results. We show that there exist significant heterogeneous impacts of 9/11 on the self-employment decisions of immigrants; while immigrants from Middle East and South Asia are less likely to enter self-employment after 9/11, Hispanic immigrants are more likely to enter. Such results show that researchers who fail to distinguish self- and wage-employment as in the previous literature may overlook some important effects of 9/11 on immigrants' labor market outcomes. The third essay is a follow-up study of the second essay and examines how immigrant entrepreneurs have been affected in terms of business exit and earnings. The results show that Middle Eastern and South Asian immigrant entrepreneurs are not negatively affected by 9/11. In fact, this group experienced a larger increase in self-employment earnings, and Quantile Regression Analysis shows that this increase is found at both lower and upper tail of the distribution. Hispanic immigrants overall do not experience negative effects of 9/11 on self-employment outcomes; however, subgroups of Hispanic immigrants show heterogeneous effects - Mexican immigrants are more likely to exit self-employment while other Hispanic immigrants are less likely to exit self-employment after 9/11.

Download or read book Governance in Immigrant Family Businesses written by Daphne Halkias and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family businesses constitute some of the most unique, complex, and dynamic systems in modern society. The blending of the performance-based world of business and the emotion-based domain of the family creates a system potentially fraught with confusion and conflict. The significant rise in immigrant family businesses adds a further level of complexity to this mix. Research into immigrant family businesses has been based on traditional, limited views of entrepreneurship largely ignoring the ethnic and family contexts that create the culture from which entrepreneurship emerges, making it impossible to understand the complex and interdependent relationships between an owning family, its firm, its governance and the community context in which the firm operates. These firms possess features that make their governance a challenging task. They depict a complex stakeholder structure, whereby the ownership stakes are passed from one generation to the next. The owning family's members usually play multiple roles, thereby blurring governance relationships. Governance in Immigrant Family Businesses explores the relationship between ethnic cultural influence in family businesses and its impact on corporate governance, addressing the intertwined influences of contractual, relational and cultural governance mechanisms and sets out a comprehensive theoretical model which clarifies the complexities involved in business planning, family harmony, and ethnic cultural variables. The authors specifically identify the implications for research, education, and practice. Application of their model will be of value to policy makers, consultants, business researchers and educators.

Download or read book An American Story written by John Sibley Butler and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an atmosphere where the Mexican American population is viewed in terms of immigrant labor, this edited book examines the strong tradition of wealth creation and business creation within this population. In the introduction, readers are presented with enterprises such as Latin Works and Real Links, which represent large, successful, and middle-size businesses. Chapters span research methods and units of analysis, utilizing archival data, ethnographic data, and the analysis of traditional census data to disaggregate gender and more broadly examine questions of business formation. From the chapters emerges a picture of problems overcome, success, and contemporary difficulties in developing new businesses. Analysis reveals how Mexican American entrepreneurs compare with other ethnic groups as they continue to build their ventures. This work is a refreshing alternative to books that focus on the labor aspects of the Mexican American experience. Contributors reveal the strong history of self-help and entrepreneurship of this population.
