Prof. dr hab. Aldona Glińska-Neweś, director of our Future Team, have published a new article in "Journal of Business Research", titled "A resource interaction perspective on resource use and development in migrant entrepreneur networks". You can read it here here and find the abstract below

Many scholars indicate that a more complex, interactionist approach to migrant entrepreneurs resources is
needed. The aim of this paper is to use the Resource Interaction Approach (RIA) and the Actors, Resources,
Activities model (ARA) to identify the processes by which resources development occurs through interactions in
three network types (ethnic, transnational, and local), and to show the use of those resources in migrants
entrepreneurial activities. Examples derived from 135 interviews confirm RIA as a fruitful approach to explaining
this phenomenon. The paper contributes to stronger integration between RIA and the ARA model; it also supports
arguments regarding the nature and processes of resource interactions and shows the role of network type in
shaping those interactions. The paper also contributes to migrant entrepreneurship literature by providing a new
perspective on the ways resources are created within networks.
