“…For the above reasons, there is a growing interest on the part of origin in promoting domestic policies that attract migrants to return. This, has now been documented by many researchers (Cohen, 2009;Tsuda, 2010;Boccagni, 2011;Ho, 2011;Åkesson & Eriksson-Baaz, 2015;Kerpaci & Kuka, 2019;Sinatti, 2019). Policies pursued include incentives designed to attract specific groups of migrants (e.g.…”

In this paper, I deal with the phenomenon of Albanian return migration. I focus on the category of returned migrants from Greece, who own a small business in Tirana, the capital of Albania. The aim of the research is to explore the circumstances under which the migrants decided to return and set up a business. I try to analyze the reasons they engaged in entrepreneurial activities through the necessity-opportunity entrepreneurship approach. Some became entrepreneurs out of necessity to avoid unemployment; others because of business opportunities. Within this last group of opportunity-seizing returned migrants, there are some who planned their return and intended to set up a business before migrating. Their objectives in Greece were to save money and gain the know-how enabling them to start and run a business back in Albania.

“…While examples of ethnographic studies can be found in several social disciplines, where they tend to be more prevalent, the use of ethnographic methods has begun to be increasingly adopted in the study of ethnic communities and migrants (e.g., Bovenkerk and Ruland 1992;Hall 2015;Smart 2003;Verver et al 2020), as well as the transnational features of their organisations (Bolzani et al 2020;Bruni et al 2004;Levitt and Lamba-Nieves 2010;Sinatti 2019). Yet, van Burg et al (2020) advocate that less conventional approaches to studying entrepreneurship, such as autoethnography, merit more attention.…”

In this paper we offer a scholarly reflection about the value of ethnographic methods for studying migrant entrepreneurship; this reflection is seen specifically through the lens of our own migration experiences. Our positionalities and subjectivities, embedded in being migrants and researchers, offer this opportunity for in-depth reflection. Specifically, we examine what varieties of ethnographic research methods offer, as well as what limitations these methods bring if adopted within migrant entrepreneurship research. We argue that specific ethnographic practice-based methods have the capacity to reveal the rich social context of migrant entrepreneurship, which can supplement the theoretical perspectives. We adopt two illustrations to highlight the relevance of ethnographic methodologies to studying migrant entrepreneurship. The contribution this study offers is in suggesting new methods that allow fresh understanding of the complex narratives of migration dynamics to emerge. This study shows how narratives intertwine with migrants' stories of entrepreneurship and offers guidance for future research.

“…But the most important factor among them is the growth of entrepreneurs because only a higher level of efficiency at the management level is required to achieve the growth and development goal. Studies have also shown that there exists a strong correlation between returning industry transfer, institutional entrepreneur and economic growth [6]. This article will attempt to explore the nature of this relationship and also the factors which can improve this nexus of innovation and growth.…”

Economic Development is the main aim for every country. Returning industry transfer (RIT) is a continuous cycle of developing industry and the economic growth. Through the returning industry transfer, the numbers of Institutional entrepreneurs increasing day by day. The basic aim of RIT is to strengthen the growth level of entrepreneurs who then drive more economic growth through their innovative strategies. Returning industry transfer has a positive influence on the growth of institutional entrepreneurs as the skills and capabilities of a traditional entrepreneur can be nurtured, promoted and cultivated with it. RIT is further associated with a number of beneficial outcomes such as higher production levels, skills and knowledge migration across industries, reduced costs, lowered poverty levels and improved entrepreneurial abilities. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact on rural revitalization through returning industry transfer. To do so, the paper considers factors like high technology, entrepreneur, poverty alleviation, rural revitalization. All these factors which result from RIT also have a broader economic impact in the form of long-term growth and development. Returning industry transfer is a driving factor to bring entrepreneurial innovation in an industry. Not only has this but it also enhanced the pace of rural revitalization, poverty reduction, economic development and growth.
