Migrant Entrepreneurs in Malmö : The Case of Restaurant Owners from Turkey

Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to give a detailed account of migrant entrepreneurs in Malmö, their daily patterns, their unique experiences, the distinct strategies they develop, the challenges they face, and their relationship with ‘regulation and ‘advice’ organizations. In addition, unique ways of ‘making’ a restaurant via food and other material items are discussed and illustrated. It is also underlined that the only method to achieve a broad understanding of migrant entrepreneurs is through qualitative research, which is generally seen inferior by policy makers.
