- W2244368987 abstract "Recognizing a need for research on small businesses established by African immigrants in the United States, an examination is done of small firms founded and operated by twelve Ghanaian immigrant entrepreneurs in Columbus, Ohio. The purpose of the study is to determine whether embeddedness influences the kinds of business that Ghanaian immigrants engage in, and the success of those businesses. This research also investigate the ways in which social capital (both ethnic and non-ethnic), social networks, and owners' levels of acculturation affect Ghanaian immigrant businesses.Between June 2002 and March 2003, surveys were distributed to, and interviews were conducted with, twelve entrepreneurs. Field observations were also conducted.The entrepreneurs' businesses were classified as retail activities, high-order services, or low-order services. Analysis of the data indicates that immigrant entrepreneurs' level of embeddedness in the ethnic community varies with the nature of particular businesses and makes success more likely, although it may not work to their advantage in the broader North American market.Social capital puts the establishment and operation of businesses within the reach of Ghanaian immigrants, although its accessibility and helpfulness varies with the nature of businesses.Social networks also allow immigrant entrepreneurs to acquire scarce business resources such as customers and information.While retailers generally confine their networking activities to the ethnic enclave, high- and low-order businesses require owners to pursue networks both in the ethnic community and in the host society.All owners of the three business categories must acculturate in order to serve their ethnic and non-ethnic customers efficiently.
