Description

Research on transnational entrepreneurship has emerged since the 1990s. Although social networks have been theorized as the foundation of the transnational social field and the use of new technologies as the key characteristic that distinguishes contemporary transnational practices from historical ones, few studies have explored the relation of networks and Internet use to transnational entrepreneurship. Keyword: Social networks, economic sociology, entrepreneurship, transnationalism, international migration, race and ethnicity, technology and societyIntegrating three sets of literature: economic sociology, social network analysis, and technology and society, this dissertation examines how factors at the macro, meso, and micro levels facilitate or constrain Chinese Canadians' participation in transnational entrepreneurship. Using mixed methods, data were collected through ethnographic study, in-depth interviews, and a random sample survey. Results show that more than 40% of Chinese Canadian entrepreneurs are transnational. The opportunity structure shaped by Canada's immigration policies and China's national strategy of recruiting Overseas Chinese for economic development sets the stage for transnational entrepreneurship. Analyzing the various aspects of networks and Internet use, this dissertation reveals that transnational entrepreneurship is embedded in glocalized networks and facilitated by new communication technologies. Exploring how entrepreneurs cultivate networks, this research contributes to the entrepreneurship literature and social network analysis. Examining immigrant networks beyond the enclaves, this research advances the literature on ethnic economy and entrepreneurship. The significance of glocalized networks makes a strong case that ethnic entrepreneurship is not enclave bounded - spatially or socially. Moreover, this research contributes to the literature on technology and society by revealing both the possibilities and limitations of the Internet for building networks and participating in transnational entrepreneurship. These findings have policy implications for immigrant integration, entrepreneurship, and international trade.
