Immigrants make better entrepreneurs than native citizens due to a combination of learnt resilience and ‘get-up-and-go’ flair, according to Adrian Furnham, professor of leadership and organisational behaviour at BI Norwegian Business School.
He says that over the last 20 years, 25% of all American venture backed companies have been created by immigrants. These people face barrier after barrier when relocating to a new place and have to overcome each hurdle using only their own ability.
Furnham says: “A wealth of research indicates that those who choose to migrate tend to be different from those who don’t. They have a different xgteigj vg yezkyhaxen, pfqdxyojz vwi nmfdjlkfje.
