- Abstract
This paper proposes a novel interpretive framework for studying migration and its implications in terms of innovation,
entrepreneurship and regional development. We suggest that migration patterns and their impact should be
analyzed through the lens of communities on the move (CoM): cultural communities marked by their own social
capital, that is, shared values and network ties, which provide tacit knowledge and opportunities to their
members and facilitate their integration in their host regions and countries. CoM have a strong influence on
migrants' well-being and their capacity to produce innovation and entrepreneurial impact that promote the
development of the host regions.- Organisation(s)
