Chinese Family Firms in the San Francisco Bay Area
研究了旧金山湾区华人家族企业如何利用族群和亲属关系资源,在复杂的社会经济政治环境中实现经济适应,对关注移民创业和族群经济的读者有参考价值。
This study examines the role of ethnicity and kinship in the economic adaptation of Chinese family firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. The development and operation of these Chinese firms are the result of a complex interactive process involving ethnic resources–such as traditional values, kinship relations, and information networks–as well as structural opportunities and constraints. Throughout their history in the Bay Area, Chinese immigrant entrepreneurs have creatively adapted to their social, economic, and political environments with resources from the family.
