The role of diaspora investors in developing countries: A study of firm internationalization and inter-firm collaborations.
Project Coordinator: Professor MSO Larissa Rabbiosi
Although the relevance of diaspora members (immigrants) as active actors in their countries of origin and countries of residence is becoming more evident, little is still known about the channels used by individual firms to benefit from immigrants. The proposed project aims to understand how firm internationalization, inter-firm collaborations, and innovation are affected by diaspora members’ participation in firms as e.g. foreign investors, inventors, returnees.
First, we propose equity ownership as a form of connection between the homeland firms and diasporans (i.e. diaspora members). Specifically, we draw on the literature on diaspora combined with an owners-as-resources perspective to theorize about how diaspora owners can affect the homeland firm’s internationalization. We suggest that the anticipated entry costs deriving from the liability of foreignness faced by homeland firms explain how the impact of diaspora owners varies depending on entry mode. Finally, we compare diaspora owners to other types of foreign owner which we argue have lower levels of motivation and ability to help homeland firms to internationalize, and contribute relatively less to their internationalization than diaspora owners.
Second, we expect that the liability of origin makes participation in international technology licensing challenging for emerging market firms. We draw on signaling theory and argue that diaspora ownership—diasporan equity investment—constitutes a reliable signal of firm quality and trustworthiness which facilitates emerging market firms’ access to international technology licensing. We theorize further about how the efficacy of diaspora ownership as a credibility-enhancing mechanism varies with the firm’s subnational context characteristics.
Third, technically skilled immigrants are highly strategically important for firm innovation. However, immigrants are socially embedded resources, in the sense that their belonging to the ethnic social community creates access to knowledge and creation of competencies that cannot be easily imitated from non-members of the ethnic community. This inherent ethnic social embeddedness can be inscrutable to the organization itself. Based on insights from the resource-based view, we investigate how and under what conditions organizations capitalize on immigrants with technical skills and harness them for innovation.
