Abstrakt
Przedsiębiorcy imigranci funkcjonujący na terenie arktycznej Laponii znajdują się w niekorzystnej sytuacji. Według dotychczasowych badań (Yeasmin, 2016) istnieje wiele czynników, które utrudniają zrównoważony rozwój firm należących do imigrantów. Są to m.in. brak wiedzy społeczno-ekonomicznej i politycznej. Poszerzanie wiedzy, łączenie silnych i słabych więzi (Granovetter, 1973) mogą pozytywnie wpływać na rozwój biznesu. Zrównoważone praktyki przedsiębiorczości imigrantów wymagają legitymizacji między działaniami przedsiębiorczymi a uznawaniem możliwości. Badania nad zrównoważoną przedsiębiorczością imigrantów są na razie początkującym obszarem badawczym i trudno jest stworzyć jeden model potencjału wzrostu przedsiębiorczości imigrantów w Laponii (Yeasmin, 2016). Dlatego celem tego badania jest stworzenie zintegrowanej wartości dla przedsiębiorców-imigrantów poprzez połączenie CSR i teorii zakorzenienia oraz znalezienie alternatywnej koncepcji w celu zrozumienia czynników, które mogą podtrzymywać funkcjonowanie mikroprzedsiębiorstw należących do imigrantów w Laponii. Badanie to dowodzi, że stopień rozwinięcia CSR można rozpatrywać jako czynnik wspierający strategię instytucjonalną, społeczną i gospodarczą. W badaniu Autorzy skupiają się na czynnikach adaptacyjnych, które przedsiębiorcy-imigranci stosują, aby przetrwać i osiągać sukces przedsiębiorczy. (abstrakt oryginalny)

Immigrant entrepreneurs are in a disadvantaged position in the Arctic Lapland. According to previous studies (see Yeasmin, 2016), there are many factors that hinder the sustainability of immigrant business. Immigrant entrepreneurs lack socioeconomic and political knowledge along with many other hindrances. Broadening knowledge and combining strong and weak ties (Granovetter, 1985) are positive factors among many other mixed factors relating to operating a business successfully. Sustainable immigrant entrepreneurship practices require legitimacy between entrepreneurial actions and opportunity recognition. Research on sustainable immigrant entrepreneurship does not fit into a single literature body and it is difficult to make a single model for the growth potential of immigrant entrepreneurship in Lapland (Yeasmin, 2016). Therefore, the focus of this study is to create an integrated value for immigrant entrepreneurs by combining the CSR theory and mix embeddedness theory, and find an alternative concept of practice for understanding the drivers that can sustain the micro businesses of immigrants in Lapland and can give an explanation on opportunities recognition which can be embedded so as to get access to the necessary entrepreneurial capital (local, regional or national). This study argues that the degree of CSR embeddedness could be developed as a component of mixed embeddedness supports the discovery of institutional, social and economic opportunity strategy amongst immigrant entrepreneurs. Conceptually, this study explores adaptive factors that immigrant entrepreneurs are determined to embed (whether knowingly) as mixed practices that create entrepreneurial success. (original abstract)
