The Journal of International Entrepreneurship (JIEN) is pleased to present this special issue, formally entitled as the “Migrant and Diaspora Entrepreneurs in International Entrepreneurship”. This title was articulated more than two years ago. The corresponding call for papers (CfP) called for papers elaborating and expanding on the integral constituents of the CfP’s topic. As a result, this thematic special issue carries the same title. However, and similar to the expanding and evolving field of international entrepreneurship (IE), authors and co-authors of papers appearing in the issue, as well as the guest editors, have raised concerns regarding certain aspects of the field, including the existing boundaries and scope of IE. Collectively, they expanded the topical coverage beyond the strict topics of the CfP’s formal title. Although this special issue (SI) addresses theoretical and practical issues related directly, or indirectly, to Migrants and Diaspora Entrepreneurship topics within and at the margins of IE, it could have alternatively called for papers addressing “Advances and Challenges in the Evolving Field of International Entrepreneurship.” Therefore, this introductory note will first explore selective events that set the stage for this thematic special issue. It will point to the perceived difficulties and challenges to the field before highlighting selective features of the issue. …

In the balance of this introductory note, the term “migrants” will be used to refer to the group of people on the move, regardless of their actual status as asylum seeker, refugees, migrants, etc.

Canada accepted more than 110,000 of the so-called Boat People as migrants from Vietnam between 1975 and 1985. These migrants have become successful Canadians and their sons and daughters have fully integrated into the Canadian cultural mosaic.

Skidoo, a reliable snowmobile, made by Bombardier, is still the main mode of transportation in the polar regions of Canada.

Montreal celebrated its 350th anniversary of its establishment by its original French settlers in 2017.

Another potential issue to consider is tourism that “internationalizes” the location-bound assets, capabilities, goods, and services. We will briefly explore this problem later on.

Although the topics of fairness and optimality, or lack thereof, lie at the root of host country dissatisfaction leading to international disputes, which deserve extended discussions, they are far beyond the scope of this introductory note.

The term “visible and tangible entrepreneur” is a metaphor referring to the real entrepreneurial, founding, and managerial teams that make active and explicit decisions to affect the firm’s growth path as opposed to markets deciding on the firm’s destiny.

In the traditional international business, goods, services, proprietary knowledge, and some resources moved internationally, but the principal entrepreneurs or managers did not—they remained at home and hence the concepts of foreign markets and foreignness.

Stinchcombe (1965) suggested that “newness” could also be a liability. In traditional societies, closed to change and without much exposure to barrage of new products, newness may pose a liability. However, when improved products and service offer higher values than their counterparts, they could be viewed positively without much liability, although they could replace their old counterpart gradually.
