Abstract

Entrepreneurship is about giving birth to new business concepts to be implemented in each business setting. As innovation like this is a case of destructive creation the conflict between old and new concepts is evident. A certain level of conflict in case of entrepreneurship may increase when migrant entrepreneurs, particularly from culturally distant settings, found a business. The reason for this is incompatibilities between locals and migrants. Acknowledging the ambiguous nature of conflict that both may allow and restrict entrepreneurial moves, the question arises how culturally distant immigrant entrepreneurs experience and cope with conflict. This chapter responds to this question through qualitative empirical research on African migrant entrepreneurs in Germany. It specifies dimensions of conflict and identifies reaction patterns to conflict settings.
