“…Following Chen and Tan's (2009) influential contribution to this topic, some authors provide evidence that transnational networking significantly improves entrepreneurial performance (Kariv et al, 2009;Mustafa & Chen, 2010), and that this positive impact increases as ties strengthen (Patel & Terjesen, 2011). Yet, other authors obtain more ambiguous results by highlighting transnational migrants' risk of disconnection from home country networks (Nawojczyk & Nowicka, 2018;Quan et al, 2019). Several scholars discuss the argument first developed by Portes et al (2002) that local embeddedness enhances transnational connections because it provides a stable basis to support transnational economic engagements (Brzozowski et al, 2017;Sequeira et al, 2009).…”

The spatialities of migrant entrepreneurship have changed dynamically in recent decades. Movements and exchanges transcend national borders more than ever, and transnational migrant entrepreneurship has become a burgeoning field of research. Yet, knowledge is dispersed across disciplines, and an understanding of contemporary spatialities is limited. We review 155 articles published in English, French, German, and Spanish since 2009, thereby providing an overview of existing knowledge on transnational migrant entrepreneurship and suggesting avenues for future research. We identify five current topical areas of research: (1) the business advantages of transnational migrant entrepreneurship, (2) the determinants of becoming a transnational migrant entrepreneur, (3) the transnational networks of migrants, (4) the economic impacts of transnational migrant entrepreneurship on home and host countries, and (5) whether local environments enable or deter entrepreneurial success. Building on our synthesis of the most recent literature, we propose three crucial dimensions which have been under-researched in past and current work, and which address the diversity of geographical locations, spatial connections, and spatial mobilities involved in transnational migrant entrepreneurship. Moreover, we put forward a set of questions for future research which will advance a comprehension of unequal opportunities among transnational migrant entrepreneurs.

“…According to Census data from 2011, around 15% of all self-employed migrants in Berlin were of Polish origin -way above the German average (Skraba and Nowicka, 2018, p. 27). For this reasons, Polish immigrants in Germany have been the subject of numerous studies, many of which focused on entrepreneurship and transnational entrepreneurship (Miera, 2008;Nawojczyk and Nowicka, 2018;Nawojczyk and Synowiec-Jaje, 2018;Skraba and Nowicka, 2018;Szarucki et al, 2016). Miera (2008) claims that the transnational perspective is essential for understanding strategies pursued by Polish immigrant entrepreneurs in Germany.…”

The purpose of the paper is to present the phenomenon of transnational entrepreneurship on the example of Poland. The paper also presents studies addressing this topic.Methodology/approach: This exploratory paper offers a general review of the phenomenon of transnational entrepreneurship in the Polish context. Available statistical data (GEM), as well as examples of existing studies are used to present the growing importance of transnational activities of immigrant entrepreneurs. The studies presented include Polish immigrants living in the US and several European countries, and immigrants from selected European and Asian countries who have moved to Poland. Findings and implications:The authors point out the symptoms of growing practical and theoretical importance of transnational immigrant entrepreneurship. Despite such symptoms, studies on the phenomenon are quite scarce in Poland, as well as other CEE countries (e.g. Hungary). Directions for further studies are outlined.Originality/value of the paper: The paper focus on the phenomenon of growing importance, which is currently understudied in the realm of Central and Eastern Europe. Research on migration in Poland does have a long tradition, but the popularity of research on immigrant entrepreneurship (including transnational activities) goes back no more than a few years.

“…The occurrence of partners of different nationalities (cultures) forming relationships and establishing families has accompanied humanity since the dawn of time. The 20 th century was a time of development and flourishing of such relationships and families, and decade after decade, the growing numbers of such relationships in the US, Europe or Poland, has led to more and more frequent academic studies of this issue (see Nowicka and Łodziński, 2006;Crippen and Brew, 2007;Favell, 2008aFavell, , 2008bRecchi and Favell, 2009;Beck and Beck-Gernsheim, 2013;Slany et al, 2014;Ślusarczyk, 2014;Nowicka, 2017;Pew Research Center, 2017).…”

Introduction: The article relates to research in the field of education focusing on family and identity that have gained particular importance in recent years in relation to the increasing number of children brought up in culturally diverse environments and attending Polish kindergartens and schools not only in the territorial border areas. The aim of the article is to show the ways in which Polish-Italian families living in Kraków construct bicultural educational and parenting environments for their children. Research Aim: Research aim was to analyse and interpret the subjective experiences of Polish mothers raising preschool children with partners of Italian nationality. Method: The research project was embedded in a qualitative research orientation, adopting its methodological assumptions. The data was collected during individual, in-depth, semi-structured interviews conducted with 10 women. Results: Following the analysis and interpretation of the women’s narratives, four models of upbringing strategies created by Polish-Italian families were proposed to be distinguished. These are: a culturally engaged family, a cosmopolitan (European) family, a culturally passive family, a family of unfulfilled expectations and aspirations. Conclusion: The aim of presenting the diversity of family educational environment of children in Polish-Italian families living in Kraków is to encourage those directly involved in upbringing and education – i.e. teachers or educational authorities – to reflect on the situation of children brought up in binational families for the proper and meaningful design of educational and didactic processes that would take into account these children’s family and home experiences, as well as their cognitive and personal potential.
