Book Synopsis Advancing U.S. Latino Entrepreneurship by : Marlene Orozco
Download or read book Advancing U.S. Latino Entrepreneurship written by Marlene Orozco and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancing U.S. Latino Entrepreneurship examines business formation and success among Latinos by identifying arrangements that enhance entrepreneurship and by understanding the sociopolitical contexts that shape entrepreneurial trajectories. While it is well known that Latinos make up one of the largest and fastest growing populations in the U.S., Latino-owned businesses are now outpacing this population growth and the startup business growth of all other demographic groups in the country. The institutional arrangements shaping business formation are no level playing field. Minority entrepreneurs face racism and sexism, but structural barriers are not the only obstacles that matter; there are agentic barriers and coethnics present challenges as well as support to each other. Yet minorities engage in business formation, and in doing so, change institutional arrangements by transforming the attitudes of society and the practices of policymakers. The economic future of the country is tied to the prospects of Latinos forming and growing business. The diversity of Latino experience constitutes an economic resource for those interested in forming businesses that appeal to native-born citizens and fellow immigrants alike, ranging from local to national to international markets. This book makes a substantial contribution to the literature on entrepreneurship and wealth creation by focusing on Latinos, a population vastly understudied on these topics, by describing processes and outcomes for Latino entrepreneurs. Unfairly, the dominant story of Latinos—especially Mexican Americans—is that of dispossession and its consequences. Advancing U.S. Latino Entrepreneurship makes clear the undiminished ambitions of Latinos as well as the transformative relationships among people, their practices, and the political context in which they operate. The reality of Latino entrepreneurs demands new attention and focus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hispanic-Latino community is large, expanding, and an important contributor to the U.S. economy. Numbering over 50 million, Hispanic-Latinos currently represent about 16% of the population. Hispanic-Latinos engage in a diversity of jobs that help keep the American economic engine running. The practice of entrepreneurship has been on the rise with over 2.3 million business in the United States categorized as Hispanic-owned, generating over $345 billion in sales. This book examines the entrepreneurial mindset of Hispanic-Latinos in the United States. With limited literature on the subject, the authors created a pioneering book that captures the viewpoints of real-life Hispanic-Latino entrepreneurs. Using a 15-item questionnaire, the authors obtained information on entrepreneurial intent, goals, and business strategies utilized. This book highlights real world business experiences, inlcuding challenges relating to entrepreneurial pursuits, and the importance of hardwork, discipline, and a positive mindset in the success of an enterprise.
Book Synopsis 2017 State of Latino Entrepreneurship by : Marlene Orozco
Download or read book 2017 State of Latino Entrepreneurship written by Marlene Orozco and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this report, the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative highlights key research findings from its third annual Survey of U.S. Latino Business Owners. In this survey, we examine issues specifically related to Latino entrepreneurs and Latino-owned businesses in the United States. This report expands upon existing studies, including the 2015 and 2016 State of Latino Entrepreneurship reports. We continue to investigate financing and the importance of growth for Latino businesses, and conduct further analysis on the role of national banks. Where other third-party research on this population may focus only on specific regions or have small sample sizes, our survey of more than 5,000 self-identified Latino business owners allows us to consider various segments within the larger group (i.e., intragroup comparisons), including firm size, gender, age, and nativity of entrepreneurs.

Book Synopsis 2018 State of Latino Entrepreneurship by : Marlene Orozco
Download or read book 2018 State of Latino Entrepreneurship written by Marlene Orozco and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2015, the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative (SLEI) has annually collected data on Latino business owners across the United States to provide timely updates on trends in Latino entrepreneurship.This report provides academic researchers, policymakers, and business leaders with insights into Latino-owned businesses as a group and as a number of subgroups and profiles. It includes differences in growth and funding experiences by gender, nativity, region, industry, size, and other personal and business characteristics. The 2018 SLEI Survey of U.S. Latino Business Owners has a large overall sample of nearly 5,000 Latino business owners, which allows data cuts on the Latino subgroups that have statistical power.Often, other third-party surveys on business owners are confined to relatively small samples of Latino-owned businesses and limited reporting on Latinos as a single group. Government data collected on business owners does not dig as deeply into the specific issues facing Latinos and is released on a delayed basis. More recently, research at the government level has shifted to focusing almost exclusively on employer firms, or those with paid employees, which make up only 9 percent of the Latino business ecosystem. The SLEI survey includes Latino-owned businesses of all sizes. Furthermore, our report leverages comparative data from other surveys, when available, in order to compare the experiences of Latinos to other demographic groups.This report also includes longitudinal data on Latino entrepreneurs who have gone through the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative-Education Scaling Program (SLEI-Ed). Making up part of the 3 percent of Latino scaled firms, this subset of entrepreneurs provides a top-line comparison group that is highly connected and motivated relative to the average Latino-owned scaled firm. At a few points throughout this report, SLEI-Ed comparisons are used to present the reality of highly successful companies and, in some cases, how their experiences are comparable to those of less successful entrepreneurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection brings together social scientists working on race and ethnicity to address the question of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, with a focus on issues linked to racial and ethnic inequalities. The fourteen chapters that make up this collection were produced during the pandemic in 2020 and are intended to address key facets of the impact of the pandemic in contemporary Europe, the United States, and globally. Individual chapters address the pandemic by drawing both on empirical research and conceptual analysis. They also seek to draw important connections between broader dimensions of racial and ethnic inequalities and the health inequalities that have been highlighted by the sharp impact of the pandemic on particular communities and groups. This volume speaks to the need for researchers working on race and ethnicity to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic through both original research and by reflection on current policy challenges and interventions. The chapters in this book were originally published as a themed issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Book Synopsis Critical Success Factors of Latino Entrepreneurs by : Carlos A. Linares
Download or read book Critical Success Factors of Latino Entrepreneurs written by Carlos A. Linares and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino entrepreneurs in the U.S. face myriad challenges in their pursuits, with unique obstacles owing to their minority and, sometimes, immigrant status. This study investigated the critical success factors of Latino entrepreneurs in the United States. This study utilized a Delphi methodology to identify the critical success factors and thematic analysis of the identified success factors to create the theoretical model. An expert panel of individuals of Latino origin who identified either as active entrepreneurs or individuals with at least 2 years of experience working in a leadership role with an organization that serves or works with Latino entrepreneurs (e.g., Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Development Center) were recruited using LinkedIn. Three survey rounds were administered based on 75 critical items identified in extant literature and 15 items suggested by panelists on the Round 1 survey. Across the three rounds, 74 of the 90 total items (82.2%) achieved consensus. A thematic analysis of the consensus items indicated four themes critical to Latino entrepreneurial success: competencies, work values and motivations, personal traits, and help-seeking behaviors. A new model for Latino entrepreneurial success entitled the Linares ImmiGrit Model was created based on the study results. When Latino entrepreneurs’ competencies, work values and motivations, and personal traits are applied and fortified through help-seeking and giving with relation to one’s interpersonal support network, culturally relevant institutions, and self-study and formal training, a generative cycle of both entrepreneurship and contribution may become possible. In this way, both individual accomplishments but beneficial community outcomes emerge. The dissertation contributes to the growing body of knowledge on entrepreneurship and provides a foundation for future research and policy development aimed at promoting entrepreneurial success among diverse populations. Based on these findings, Latino entrepreneurs are advised to (a) uncover their unique reasons for business ownership and use these to sustain them through the inevitable challenges, (b) be proactive in assessing their competencies and addressing any gaps through help-seeking, and (c) be deliberate about both seeking and offering help so that, collectively, Latino entrepreneurs advance in renewed strength together.
Book Synopsis 2018 Latino Entrepreneurship Gap Report by : Arnobio Morelix
Download or read book 2018 Latino Entrepreneurship Gap Report written by Arnobio Morelix and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos own 350,000 employer businesses in the U.S., creating nearly 3 million American jobs, and driving a GDP of more than $2 trillion. The Latino population in the U.S. has more than doubled since the 1990s, growing from 8 percent to 18 percent by 2015. In turn, the number of businesses owned by Latinos is rising. In 1996, just 6 percent of all businesses were owned by Latinos; today that number has more than doubled to nearly 13 percent.Yet, despite this progress, there remains a significant gap in entrepreneurial participation between Latinos and non-Latinos. If this gap were closed, Latino-owned businesses could make even larger contributions to the American economy, with an extra 650,000 employer businesses and an additional 5.3 million jobs.This report quantifies this entrepreneurship gap through a “Latino Entrepreneurship Score,” created by analyzing data from the 2015 U.S. Census Bureau Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs (ASE). The ASE is an annual survey of over 200,000 entrepreneurs of employer businesses in the U.S. The Latino Entrepreneurship Score is measured across national, state, and metropolitan areas, and explores possible reasons preventing Latinos from achieving their full entrepreneurial potential.

Download or read book La Florida written by Kevin Kokomoor and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Florida explores a Spanish thread to early American history that is unfamiliar or even unknown to most Americans. As this book uncovers, it was Spanish influence, and not English, which drove America’s early history. By focusing on America’s Spanish heritage, this collection of stories complicates and sometimes challenges how Americans view their past, which author Kevin Kokomoor refers to as “the country’s founding mythology.” Dig deeper into Hispanic and Caribbean history, and how important happenings elsewhere in the Spanish colonial world influenced the discovery and colonization of the American Southeast. Follow Spanish sailors discovering the edges of a new continent and greedy, violent conquistadors quickly moving in to find riches, along with Catholic missionaries on their search for religious converts. Learn how Spanish colonialism in Florida sparked the British’s plans for colonization of the continent and influenced some of the most enduring traditions of the larger Southeast. The key history presented in the book will challenge the general assumption that whatever is important or interesting about this country is a product of its English past.

Book Synopsis Latino Small Businesses and the American Dream by : Melvin Delgado
Download or read book Latino Small Businesses and the American Dream written by Melvin Delgado and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino small businesses provide social, economic, and cultural comfort to their communities. They are also excellent facilitators of community capacity--a major component of effective social work practice. Social work practitioners have a vested interest in seeing such businesses grow, not only among Latinos but all communities of color. Reviewing the latest research on formal and informal economies within urban communities of color, Melvin Delgado lays out the demographic foundations for a richer collaboration between theory and practice. Delgado deploys numerous case studies to cement the link between indigenous small businesses and community well-being. Whether regulated or unregulated, these establishments hire from within and promote immigrant self-employment. Latino small businesses often provide jobs for those whose criminal and mental health backgrounds intimidate conventional businesses. Recently estimated to be the largest group of color running small businesses in the United States, Latino owners top two million, with the number expected to double within the next few years. Joining an understanding of these institutions with the kind of practice that enables their social and economic improvement, Delgado explains how to identify and mobilize the kinds of resources that best spur their development.
