Abstract

Migration- a form of globalization- influences new venture creation,
internationalization and overall economic landscape. These global flows
of people shift human capital, entrepreneurial ideas and activities
across places, but little is known on the interconnectedness of
migratory and entrepreneurial dynamics. Theoretical lenses, such as
migration theories, epidemic dynamics, gravity laws and bandwagon
effects, among other explanatory models, have not really diffused into
explaining entrepreneurship. This chapter broadens the view and
addresses migration dynamics implanting entrepreneurs into new contexts
and between contexts, and discusses the types of entrepreneurs and
businesses “in dispersion”. The chapter advances the understanding of
the intertwined nature of these two dynamics and contributes to the
analytical clarity of the terminology employing the idea of topology.
