Diaspora Business / The Diaspora and Business Project

Diaspora Business The Diaspora and Business Project Wednesday 15th July - Friday 17th July 2015 Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom Call for Presentations: Diasporas' role in world economy is increasingly becoming vital as the number of people living and working away from their places of birth is on the rise. Diasporas use their networks in both the home and host countries and mostly become visible, and sometimes invisible, as they influence living conditions in a world of globalised plural cultures. The economic, political, cultural, social, historical, literary works, the media, amongst others, often influence livable spaces and places. Some of the ways Diasporas play an influencing role are in diverse areas such as health, wellbeing, livelihoods in home and host countries, the emotional and psychological aspects of individuals and groups in society through business activities, international investments, conducting international business, production and marketing. These Diaspora businesses also influence the viability of numerous new developments, ventures, and act as bridge-builders in many aspects of human activity, including sponsorship of concerts and sports events, through their economic and financial contributions. The complexities involved in understanding Diaspora Businesses requires an international, interdisciplinary approach as the topic needs to reflect on numerous perspectives, such as international business, economy, sociology, public administration, history, ethnology, sports, the arts, linguistics, developmental aid, just to name a few, for creating much needed understanding of this ever growing phenomenon and its dynamism. In the contemporary globalizing world it is essential to understand many aspects of Diaspora businesses inclduing: - Concept, importance and the inherent dilemmas posed by the activities of Diaspora Businesses, - The socio-cultural mechanisms underpinning these activities, - The different types of Diaspora entrepreneurship, - The organisational structures of Diaspora businesses, - The numerous influences and contributions to changes in societies including the political machineries of all echelons of government, and - Subsequent challenges for managing diversity of businesses and the government policies related to the existence of formal and informal Diaspora businesses.
