Abstract The article presents results from research on migrant entrepreneurs from Turkey in Finland. Previous research on migrant entrepreneurship indicates that transnational ties may play a role in the running of migrant businesses. In this article, I argue that there is a need to analytically make a distinction between the transferability and the mobilisability of transnational social resources. Distinguishing between the two concepts makes it possible to analyse the utilisation of transnational resources more specifically than a simple descriptive study of transnational ties would allow. To focus solely on the existence of transnationalism might overlook the fact that not all ties and resources can necessarily be utilised by migrants in a given social context characterised by unequal power relations. My research results suggest that a consideration of broader networks of power, including state policies, provides a key to understanding how transnational social resources can be utilised among entrepreneurs in Finland.

跨国资源的可转移性和流动性：

摘要本文介绍了来自芬兰土耳其的移民企业家的研究结果。先前对移民企业家精神的研究表明，跨国联系可能在移民企业的经营中发挥作用。在本文中，我认为有必要在分析上区分跨国社会资源的可转移性和可动性。区别这两个概念使对跨国资源的利用进行更具体的分析成为可能，而不是对跨国关系进行简单的描述性研究。仅专注于跨国主义的存在可能会忽略这样一个事实，即在给定的以不平等的权力关系为特征的社会背景下，移民不一定会利用所有联系和资源。
