“…Here, supportive government policies which encouraged foreign investment including remittances (Nguyen and Doan, 2015), and a favourable market opportunity, together with the availability of pooled family resources and the necessary cultural capital (i.e. understanding of the local language and business environment) make this a potentially viable proposition.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relevance of the mixed embeddedness thesis (Kloosterman, 2010; Rath and Kloosterman, 2002) to businesses with a more transnational mode of operation. Design/methodology/approach Interviews with the owner managers of a sample 24 Vietnamese businesses in London were undertaken to develop an understanding of how micro (individual resources: social, financial and cultural/human capital, and history of migration), meso (local, regional and national markets) and macro (politico-institutional) factors in the UK and overseas influenced business development. Findings The findings illustrate how business development is influenced not just by the interaction of the local (UK) opportunity structure and the entrepreneur’s resources, as suggested by the mixed embeddedness thesis, but also by institutional regimes, economies and markets in key countries of the diaspora, and the interaction of these. The extent to which new transnational opportunities can be exploited, however, depends on access to the necessary local and transnational forms of capital. Practical implications The empirical evidence presented is used to present a re-working of the mixed embeddedness thesis to provide a framework for understanding the drivers of transnational entrepreneurship. Originality/value The paper presents new empirical knowledge of transnational activity amongst the UK Vietnamese business community – a little known refugee community. Conceptually, the paper offers a theoretical development of the mixed embeddedness thesis to enable it to provide an explanation of transnational entrepreneurship amongst new migrant communities.

“…These perceptual variables are further broken down in the literature into the individual's self-perception [41] and the subjective perception of the environment, which constitutes perceptions of the economic and social context [42]. The literature highlights that role models play a particularly important role in the development of perceptual factors [43], which are often based on popular entrepreneurs or out of acquaintance or family [44][45][46][47]. Mueller [23] pointed out that the importance of perceptual factors declines in the life cycle following the NE stage.…”

In our study, we examined the characteristics of nascent entrepreneurs using the 2021 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor national representative data in Hungary. We examined our topic based on Arenius and Minitti’s four-category theory framework. In our research, we examined system-level feature sets with four machine learning modeling algorithms: multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and AdaBoost. Our results show that each machine algorithm can predict nascent entrepreneurs with over 90% adaptive cruise control (ACC) accuracy. Furthermore, the adaptation of the categories of variables based on the theory of Arenius and Minitti provides an appropriate framework for obtaining reliable predictions. Based on our results, it can be concluded that perceptual factors have different importance and weight along the optimal models, and if we include further reliability measures in the model validation, we cannot pinpoint only one algorithm that can adequately identify nascent entrepreneurs. Accurate forecasting requires a careful and predictor-level analysis of the algorithms’ models, which also includes the systemic relationship between the affecting factors. An important but unexpected result of our study is that we identified that Hungarian NEs have very specific previous entrepreneurial and business ownership experience; thus, they can be defined not as a beginner but as a novice enterprise.

“…Similarly, three fourths of the surveyed Russian philanthropists reported experiencing pressure from local authorities to donate to designated recipients (Livshin & Weitz, 2006). In Vietnam, compulsory giving includes (1) government employees are required to contribute to government-affiliated charities, (2) households and private businesses are visited by local officials and mass organizations for charitable contributions, and (3) community members are asked to support local charities on an annual or biannual basis (Nguyen & Doan, 2015). In these cases, political connections grant NGOs the privilege of raising donations that they otherwise would not have raised.…”

What Matters for Charitable Donations Under Authoritarianism? An Examination of Organizational Legitimacy and Political Connections

Voluntary certification that signals nonprofit organizations’ legitimacy has been found to be positively related to charitable donations in Europe and North America. However, whether these proxies of organizational legitimacy matter under authoritarian regimes where political connections are deemed critical for resource acquisition has not been explored. Based on a sample of 2,021 Chinese foundations, this article finds that organizational legitimacy achieved through certification is tied to an increase in charitable donations. Meanwhile, organizational legitimacy tends to negatively moderate the relationship between foundations’ political affiliation and charitable donations. That is, certification lifts the amount of charitable donations to civic foundations that are not formally affiliated with the state more than it does for politically affiliated foundations. As the first quantitative study on the effect of voluntary nonprofit certification programs on charitable donations outside Western democracies, this article contributes to our understanding of fundraising in China and other authoritarian states.
