Transnational entrepreneurship: Experiences of migrant-returnees to Serbia
2013
There is a lack of studies on transnational entrepreneurship in Serbia, while
transnational cross-border economic activities of Serbian migrants have so
far been perceived mostly from the perspective of foreign remittances. The
aim of this paper is to highlight the need to study transnational forms of
economic activity in Serbia; identify transnational entrepreneurship among
migrants-returnees in Serbia, as well as among those who maintain contacts
and have business activities with Serbia; explore motives of respondents
related to establishing businesses in Serbia, and simultaneously having
business activities abroad. The first part of the paper provides an overview
of relevant theoretical standings in the area of transnational
entrepreneurship, emphasising the need to combine economic and sociological
approaches. The second part analyses the results of a pilot study conducted
through interviews on the characteristics of transnational entrepreneurship
of migrants-returnees in Serbia. The study results show how respondents use
the opportunities and overcome obstacles related to conditions for business
activities in Serbia, as they represent an important resource in the
development of the Serbian economy.
