Refugee Entrepreneurship and Institutional Voids: The Case of Syrian Refugee Entrepreneurs in Egypt
Refugee entrepreneurship is increasingly viewed as a viable means for refugees to gain self-reliance and integrate into their host countries. Yet, given the diversity of institutional contexts that host refugees, calls have been made to expand research on how institutions influence refugee entrepreneurship. We respond to this call by presenting herein an abductive study of Syrian refugee entrepreneurs in an emerging market (Egypt) who managed to establish and maintain entrepreneurial ventures despite institutional voids (i.e., where key institutions are either missing or underperforming). The work offers an extension of the institutional voids perspective for studying refugee entrepreneurs, known as “refugee-economy voids.”
