| Zusammenfassung: | The paper aims to contribute to understand the migrant entrepreneurs family's role during business start up and management. At the beginning we review (inevitably in a partial way) migrants entrepreneurship literature within the migration studies. Migration studies give few importance to the relationship family/firm in relation to migrants entrepreneurs, so another field research , the family firm studies, was identified to define a theoretical framework and conceptual tools useful to achieve the fixed goal. Therefore, to understand the relationship between family and firm for migrant entrepreneurs, a specific perspective, the family embeddedness perspective, and specific categories of family resources, (family social capital, human capital and family financial capital) were adopted. Inside this perspective and through the implementation of these categories, research goes on analyzing a database collecting data from 200 structured interviews (face to face) with immigrant entrepreneur. The specific goals that were pursued are the following: to understand the importance for migrant entrepreneurs of resources related to family capital during business start up and management; to understand the relationship between the importance for migrant entrepreneur of family capital resources and the importance of other type of capital; to identify groups of homogeneous behavior in the family capital resources use. |
