Entrepreneurial Learning in Diaspora Family Business Case Studies: A Family Entrepreneurial Team(s) Theoretical Perspective

The aim of this chapter is to offer theoretical perspectives for case studies, to extend our understanding of diaspora entrepreneurship as a learning process in the diaspora family business context. To do so, we first highlight the use of the social theory Situated Learning and its branches Communities of Practice and Legitimate Peripheral Participation. Second, to encourage those scholars in the field of diaspora family business and diaspora entrepreneurship, to research beyond the individual diaspora entrepreneur and to consider the joint practices and participation of those family and non-family members who compose Family Entrepreneurial Teams (FETs), while exploring further the links associated with entrepreneurial learning and the collective.
