The determinants of transnational entrepreneurship and transational ties' dynamics among immigrant enterpreneurs in ICT sector in Italy

This article contributes to the rapidly growing literature on transnational immigrant entrepreneurship by analyzing the determinants of transnational entrepreneurial engagement among immigrants in the ICT sector in Italy.

Moreover, we find that the type of transnational ties and the network size have a substantial impact on the dynamics of transnational entrepreneurial engagement
