Bringing much needed clarity and definition to the term 'minority entrepreneur,' this authoritative and scholarly handbook explores the distinctive challenges that minority communities face when founding and managing new ventures. The handbook is inclusive of any community who might be considered disadvantaged or under-represented in terms of entrepreneurial activity and includes women, youths, seniors, disabled, immigrants, Indigenous peoples, LBGTQ+, ex-offenders, Roma, refugees and many others. Its chapters highlight the idiosyncratic nature of the many communities, discusses the literature of minority entrepreneurship, addresses the under-researched areas of entrepreneurial behavior among minorities and disadvantaged groups, and offers new frameworks/models from which future researchers can build new knowledge. The handbook is comprehensive and covers a fast-emerging field of entrepreneurship. It is intended for an audience of students, researchers and policymakers.
