Abstract

The relevance of minority entrepreneurship for both academics and policy-makers has been steadily growing during the last decades; minority businesspersons proved to stimulate positive social change and promote economic prosperity. However, they still face multiple structural and social barriers to both entering the business market and further expanding their enterprises. Presenting case studies from all over the world, the collected chapters of the current book aim at making a contribution into the debates on constraints to business activities of disadvantaged social groups and, in the longer run, into creation of a more inclusive business environment.
