Networking in Ireland’s Ethnic Enterprises: Entrepreneurship and Opportunity gives readers a thorough and up-to-date insight into the networking practices of ethnic entrepreneurs in Ireland. The book provides readers with a theoretical grounding in formal and informal networking and gives a comprehensive insight into research conducted on ethnic entrepreneurship in a number of countries. The book presents a solid grounding in the fundamentals of ethnic entrepreneurship, and gives readers relevant real life examples of how ethnic entrepreneurs in Ireland engage in networking. The book also highlights the motivations and challenges the featured ethnic entrepreneurs have encountered while setting up a business in their host country, Ireland.

“...There is very little published on the topic of ethnic entrepreneurship in Ireland because the issue is relatively new to the country. Therefore any publication that sheds light on this area is warmly welcomed by a wide range of stakeholders. However, what makes Niamh’s work uniquely interesting is that the topic of networking within ethnic entrepreneurship, has an international appeal.”
—Dr Thomas Cooney, Academic Director of the Institute of Minority Entrepreneurship, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland “This research makes a significant contribution to the area of entrepreneurship, specifically to networking practices of migrant entrepreneurs. It highlights the under-utilisation of informal networking in the Irish context, the poor involvement of formal networks and the reluctance of migrant entrepreneurs to participate in networking. The study is interesting as it explores networking in an Irish context, a relatively new phenomenon particularly in comparison to other countries such as Canada, Australia, the UK, Europe and the US.” —Tara Frawley, Lecturer in Marketing, Management and Entrepreneurship, Department of Business, Limerick Institute of Technology, Ireland “Networking in Ireland’s Ethnic Enterprises: Entrepreneurship and Opportunity contributes to the body of knowledge on networking practices in an Irish context and offers interesting insights into the importance of networking for businesses.” —Dr Natasha Evers, Lecturer in Marketing, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland
