Businesses Establishment and Performance
| | Author Name : | | | AISSA MOSBAH1, AHMED MUKT ABDHAMID ABUSEF | | Publisher : | | | Bridge Center | | Article URL : |  | | | Abstract : | | | Length of stay, which is often discussed in migration studies,
refers to the period an immigrant must have spent in the host country
up to the moment he/she is surveyed for research purposes. Sociocultural research suggests that length of stay plays undeniable role in
the adaptation process of immigrants in their respective host countries.
In business context, available anecdotal evidence points to the
important role of length of stay in immigrant businesses’ establishment
and performance. Through a review of the existing works, this paper
aims to provide insights on what role it plays in business
establishment and performance. Our review reveals that besides being
not properly addressed in the literature; length of stay is different than
settlement intention. Evidences surrounding length of stay remain
conceptual and anecdotal with parsimonious empirical investigation.
For business establishment, shorter length of stay might be common
among sojourners and internal oriented entrepreneurs and longer
length of stay can facilitate involvement in the mainstream market.
The impact on performance seems to depend on class resources factors and also on the level of integration in the host country socio-economic
system (for transnational entrepreneurs).
