For decades, entrepreneurship has been part of the business research area. However, new phenomena have emerged that could further enlighten the understanding of entrepreneurship. One of these phenomena is the international refugee crises. This refugee crisis has had an impact on the Nordic countries in many ways. Many questions arise on how this large immigrant group can survive and make a living, and how the integration of the refugees are to be handled in a host country. This track invites papers that shed light on this new and important area of entrepreneurship by focusing on refugee entrepreneurship.
