Abstract
This chapter discusses the findings from a pilot study which is part of a larger ongoing study that is considering the nature of family dynamics in ethnic-minority-owned family businesses based in the UK. Ethnic minority entrepreneurs including those of Asian and Caribbean descent are making significant contributions to UK economic development. Previous studies (Barrett, Jones and Mcevoy (2001); Waldinger, Ward, Aldrich and Stanfield (1990) have shown that in the UK the number of ethnic minority start-ups is comparatively high compared to other groups of start-up entrepreneurs. However, the contribution of migrant entrepreneurs has largely been neglected by researchers (Williams et al., 2004; Keeble, 1989) and also appears to have been overlooked by family business researchers. This chapter explains the cultural theoretical framework for the study and highlights the cultural aspects of the Pakistani family business discovered and explored in the pilot study.
