Tiivistelmä

The study identifies and analyzes the role of liability of foreignness in the failure of immigrant owned new ventures. Building on literatures of immigrant entrepreneurship and liability of foreignness, we analyze the failure of 11 immigrant owned new ventures in Finland. In our comparative case study analysis, we find that entrepreneurial firms founded by immigrant entrepreneurs experience liability of foreignness due to foreign origins of their founders. We explore the concept of liability of foreignness at individual level and discuss five sources including unfamiliarity with the local environment, lack of legitimacy, constraints imposed by host countries, lack of cultural integration, and insufficient local language skills, that may affect the success of new ventures. Furthermore, a process is developed that outlines how various sources of liability of foreignness leads to failure of entrepreneurial firm founded by immigrants. In this process various factors are highlighted that play key role to make liability of foreignness work. The study contributes to literature on immigrant entrepreneurship, liability of foreignness, and entrepreneurial failure.
