Abstract

ABSTRACT The changing geopolitical landscapes and increased migration flow across the world call for a fresh perspective on the sociocultural and economic integration of migrants in their new ‘homes’ and ‘communities’. In this qualitative process study, we provide insight into the identity work dynamics that underlie interfirm cooperation in the new business context. We see a sample of Bulgarian migrant entrepreneurs as knowledge boundary spanners who employ identity work tactics for the development of shared norms and values that facilitate knowledge exchange between their home culture and the UK host culture context. This study suggests that knowledge boundary spanning is enabled by a temporal identity work process, characterized by a series of inward and outward identity work tactics. The interplay between inward and outward identity work tactics occurs over phases of identifying identity differences, adopting identity cues, and finally, realizing hybrid identity. This article contributes to the identity work and migrant entrepreneurship literature by exploring the underlying mechanisms for realizing knowledge boundary spanning by migrant entrepreneurs. 摘要 国际地缘政治的持续变化和移民流动的增加要求学者对移民在他们的“新家和社区”进行社会文化和经济的融合提出新的视角。本文通过质性过程研究,对在崭新的商业环境中公司间合作的身份动态提出了新见解。我们发现,比利时在英国的移民创业者,如同知识边界跨越者一样,通过身份工作的策略来建立共享的规范和价值观来增进母文化和当地文化之间的知识交换。这种身份工作有一个时间过程,包含一系列的向内和向外身份的调整。而且这种内外身份调整包括了从对于身份差异的识别,到采纳身份的线索,到最后实现身份的混合。本文揭示了移民创业者实现知识边界跨越的潜在机制,对身份工作和移民创业文献做出了贡献。

通过身份工作跨越文化鸿沟:保加利亚移民企业家在英国的策略
不断变化的地缘政治格局和全球范围内不断增加的移民流动要求我们以新的视角来看待移民在新“家园”和“社区”中的社会文化和经济融合。在这一定性过程研究中,我们深入了解了新商业环境下企业间合作背后的身份工作动态。我们看到一个保加利亚移民企业家作为知识边界跨越者的样本,他们采用身份工作策略来发展共同的规范和价值观,促进他们的家乡文化和英国东道国文化背景之间的知识交流。本研究表明,知识边界跨越是通过一个时间认同工作过程实现的,该过程以一系列内向和外向的认同工作策略为特征。内外身份工作策略之间的相互作用发生在识别身份差异、采用身份线索、最终实现混合身份的阶段。本文通过探索移民企业家实现知识边界跨越的潜在机制,对身份工作和移民创业文献有所贡献。摘要 国际地缘政治的持续变化和移民流动的增加要求学者对移民在他们的“新家和社区”进行社会文化和经济的融合提出新的视角。本文通过质性过程研究,对在崭新的商业环境中公司间合作的身份动态提出了新见解。我们发现,比利时在英国的移民创业者,如同知识边界跨越者一样,通过身份工作的策略来建立共享的规范和价值观来增进母文化和当地文化之间的知识交换。这种身份工作有一个时间过程,包含一系列的向内和向外身份的调整。而且这种内外身份调整包括了从对于身份差异的识别,到采纳身份的线索,到最后实现身份的混合。本文揭示了移民创业者实现知识边界跨越的潜在机制,对身份工作和移民创业文献做出了贡献。
