<p>Although migrant entrepreneurship has existed for many decades and has contributed to various economic dimensions, it has not been thoroughly investigated, and the theoretical underpinnings that can explain migrant entrepreneurship lack clear articulation and argument. The overarching aim of this study is to use the disadvantage, interactive and cultural theoretical models to understand in depth the uptake, enactment and embeddedness of migrant entrepreneurship.
