Ways of introducing new migrants to society and economy pose significant challenges, thus some guidelines for the policy design towards migrations are in need. This book points out patterns of approaches leading to entrepreneurial activities, implemented by the immigrants from the Far East: China, Vietnam, South Korea, India, and Philippines. At these stage comparisons with other countries are both possible and necessary, as many countries all over the world face challenges connected with defining migration policies. From the studies included in the book, readers will gain first-hand knowledge about immigrant entrepreneurship in Poland against the Western European or USA background of similar processes described by researchers in other countries"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Bibliography -- 4 Reasons for starting new ventures -- 4.1 Introduction -- 4.2 Entrepreneurial motivation -- 4.3 Immigrant entrepreneurship motivation -- 4.4 Analysis of motives of different groups of immigrants -- 4.4.1 Chinese immigrant entrepreneurs -- 4.4.2 Filipino immigrant entrepreneurs -- 4.4.3 Indian immigrant entrepreneurs -- 4.4.4 South Korean immigrant entrepreneurs -- 4.4.5 Vietnamese immigrant entrepreneurs -- 4.5 Conclusions -- Bibliography -- 5 Strategies of venture development -- 5.1 Introduction -- 5.2 Strategic planning -- 5.3 Stakeholders in the organisational environment Subject Minority business enterprises -- Poland Entrepreneurship -- Poland Immigrants -- Poland -- Economic conditions Emigration and immigration -- Government policy Entrepreneurship Immigrants -- Economic conditions Minority business enterprises SUBJECT Poland -- Emigration and immigration -- Government policy Subject Poland Form Electronic book Author Glinka, Beata, editor Jelonek, Adam W., editor ISBN 9781000096934 1000096939
