Insights are offered from a variety of disciplines, including business and industrial economics, anthropology, and sociology, thereby providing a framework through which to view the problems and also identifying potential pathways for their evolution and resolution. The focus on local liabilities affords an original perspective on the nature of globalization and highlights salient aspects of native and immigrant entrepreneurship. Globalization not only creates "bridges" between distant places but also changes the face of businesses and socioeconomic systems at the local level, where local liabilities may emerge when two or more separate communities (of persons and firms) exist. The greater the separation between the communities, the greater the local liabilities. In offering diverse perspectives on this relatively neglected aspect of globalization, the book will be of interest to a wide readership. 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aMarkets 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aEmerging Markets/Globalization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010 606 $aEntrepreneurship$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514000 606 $aMigration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000 606 $aIndustrial Organization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33000 606 $aRegional and Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aMarkets. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 14$aEmerging Markets/Globalization. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 615 24$aMigration. 615 24$aIndustrial Organization. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aRegional and Cultural Studies. 676 $a381 702 $aGuercini$b Simone$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDei Ottati$b Gabi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBaldassar$b Loretta$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJohanson$b Graeme$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163142203321 996 $aNative and Immigrant Entrepreneurship$92260903 997 $aUNINA
