“…The findings of other recent studies 12,13,19,20 show that secondgeneration entrepreneurs in particular have become active in new (non-traditional) sectors, such as producer services, including finance, insurance, real estate and business-related professional services, ICT and the creative industries. These figures show that Turkish entrepreneurs are no longer confined to their ethnic niche.…”

“…The empirical findings of several studies 5,[8][9][10][11][12][13] show that the main motivation towards entrepreneurship came from the high value given to the independency, the desire to be one's own boss and the different life and working styles. Owing to legal barriers as well as to the desire of most migrants to return to Turkey and the comfortable conditions of the labour market in the 1960s and 1970s, entrepreneurship among Turkish migrants was oriented only to the specific needs and demands of the Turkish community.…”

Turkish migrants constitute the largest migrant community as well as the largest migrant entrepreneurial group in many European countries. Recent studies state that today 1 in 10 Turkish families is self-employed and the number of Turkish entrepreneurs operating all over EU member states has exceeded 100,000. Projections suggest that 190,000 Turkish entrepreneurs will be living in the EU member states in 2020 while employing over 1 million people. An increasing involvement of second-generation migrants in entrepreneurial activities, as well as the new orientations from traditional to non-traditional sectors and transnational activities, has led to a transformation from ‘Migrant Entrepreneurship’ towards the ‘New European Entrepreneurship’.

1Immigrant entrepreneurship may represent a means for diminishing the negative effects specific to the migration phenomenon and for emphasising the positive ones, contributing to the development of strong regions. The present paper outlines a series of information gathered through an ongoing complex and comprehensive research on immigrant entrepreneurship in Romania, approached from economic, social, institutional, and cultural perspectives. The major aim of the research is to provide a wide image on the investigated phenomenon in order to raise awareness among policymakers of its importance and complexity.The , cultural and social norms, commercial infrastructure, regulatory aspects, etc. paper puts forward a series of empirical results obtained through the development of an econometrical analysis of statistical data and interview-based research. Results highlight a strong positive correlation between the number of enterprises (total and newly registered) and the number of immigrants in Romania. In this context, the hypothesis of the existence of another variable -especially related to the socio-economic and legislative environments -with an impact on both the number of enterprises and the one of immigrants may arise. Furthermore, in-depth explanations are provided by the carried out interviews. Debated issues refer to motivations, incentives, and obstacles in business development

“…The migrant entrepreneurs play a crucial role in economic development of the city (Baycan, Sahin, Nijkamp, 2012). They make a direct contribution to the city in the form of tax payment besides the indirect contribution of their business activity (opening of employment opportunities, developing a new area in the city or periphery for industries or housing, providing needs for the city population, etc.).…”

“…The success of a business is mostly determined by the entrepreneur himself (Sahin et al, 2009), especially at the initial stage of founding of their business (Kessler, Frank, 2009). These first-generation entrepreneurs are known for their assertiveness, self-restraint, and innovativeness (Fraboni, Saltstone, 1990) and their capability is tested when they start their business as migrant entrepreneurs (Baycan et al, 2012).…”

The migrant entrepreneur plays a crucial role in economic development of the city. However, scant attention has been given to the study of the characteristics of migrant entrepreneurs in the context of urban areas in Asia, especially in Indonesia. Therefore, this paper identifies the main characteristics of migrant entrepreneurs in South Jakarta. The research itself involves sixty-eight first-generation migrant entrepreneurs as respondents of the survey. The characteristics of migrant entrepreneurs are analysed using descriptive statistics method of frequency distribution analysis. The analysis has been conducted based on background characteristics, cultural characteristics, business-related goals, business strategy, and performance. The analysis has revealed that the existence of migrant entrepreneurs in Jakarta has a positive impact not only on the development of the city but also on the development of their own homeland.
