Abstract

Adopting the dual view of social environment in interaction with individuals, this article seeks to investigate ethnic migrant women's pathways to entrepreneurship in New Zealand. It also explores the challenges facing ethnic migrant women entrepreneurs, and various ethnic and cultural resources utilised by them to overcome such challenges. At the conceptual level, this paper will offer insights towards building a more inclusive framework to examine ethnic migrant women's entrepreneurship. In particular, exploring migrant women's entrepreneurship in ethnically diverse settings may offer both empirical and theoretical insights. Implications for future research and practice are outlined, highlighting the significance of migrant entrepreneurship in New Zealand. Copyright © 2014 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
