3. INTRODUCTION
Across the globe, International migration has become
a central characteristic of developing countries,
contributing to the development of a multicultural and
open society.
The connection between international backgrounds
and engagement in entrepreneurship are becoming
more widely known, due to which the emergence of
immigrant entrepreneurship has become a
phenomenon of global importance (Morgan et al.,
2018; Vahidnia et al., 2019).

4. IMMIGRANT ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Immigrant entrepreneurship has undergone significant change in the
last few decades, prompting many scholars in the fields of
management, economics, international business, entrepreneurship,
and sociology to do extensive Research on this context (Ado et al.,
2016).
Further, it is noted that businesses developed by immigrants have
adequate social and economic returns, including competitiveness,
jobs, innovation, and prosperity, which in turn represents the
Immigrant entrepreneurship success in different parts of the world
(Carbonell et al., 2014).

5. A recent conversation about the players involved in
international entrepreneurship has helped to
understand how immigrant entrepreneurs vary from
other international entrepreneurs (Elo et al., 2018).
Immigrant entrepreneurs are distinctive in their
entrepreneurial internationalization approaches in
relation to pathways and procedures, as a result of
their unique capabilities, which assist them in
bridging the capital from different countries
(Vinogradov & Jorgensen, 2017).

6. CROSS-CULTURAL
CAPABILITIES

7. In the immigrant entrepreneurship context, cross-
cultural capabilities are defined as “the capability
attitude,
capability
to handle uncertainty, a positive
resilience, a d evelopmental learning
and a bilingual capability”.
Cross-cultural adaptation refers to
psychological and sociocultural adaptation in the
field of immigrant entrepreneurship.

8. That is, cross-cultural capabilities can be noted as skills of an individual
relevant to psychological and sociocultural adaptation leveraged for
business performance in home and host countries.
Generally, a sociocultural adaptation capability describes the language
skills, cultural learning, and bicultural flexibility of an individual.
On the other hand, Psychological adaptation capability refers to
managing emotions and the positive attitude of individuals (Kunlin Xu,
2017).
The below figure represents the cross-cultural capabilities of immigrant
entrepreneurship

10. CONCLUSION
As a result, immigrant entrepreneurs must be
able to transit between two cultural traditions,
schemas, and behaviours in response to
cultural prompts when they move to a foreign
country with a different culture.
Also, bicultural skills may be deemed more
evident than multicultural capabilities to
immigrant entrepreneurs because of the dual
cultural environments in which they reside (Xu,
2021).

11. In this view, cross-cultural capabilities of immigrant entrepreneurs are sets of skills
linked with a socio-cultural and psychological adaptation of individual’s which can
be used to improve outcomes for the business in both home and host countries.
It is no doubt that Immigrant entrepreneurs will undeniably benefit from their cross-
cultural skill.
