We also found that most of their reasons for venturing in entrepreneurship were lack of job opportunities that fit their skill sets, discrimination in workplaces, skills, and ease for starting online businesses and talent to exploit business opportunities in the host country. At the end, we presented the results in form of a theoretical model, illustrating the motivational factors for migrant entrepreneurs to engage in entrepreneurship in the studied host countries.}, number={3}, journal={International Entrepreneurship Review}, author={Agoh, Eugene Terungwa and Kumpikaite-Valiuniene, Vilmante}, year={2018}, month={Sep.}, pages={29–46} }
