This paper examines opportunity identification and strategies as well as organizational practices used by diasporic transnational entrepreneurs residing in Canada. The findings indicate that the ability to identify products/services in one context and adapt them to fulfill needs in another context and a choice of appropriate competitive strategies are paramount to success. However, differentiation strategies seem preferred more often than low cost leadership strategies. Learning and creativity are the best means to identify and take advantage of opportunities. Although family and friends play an important role in the identification of opportunities, their importance decreases once a firm is created.

本文研究了居住在加拿大的跨国跨国企业家使用的机会识别和策略以及组织实践。研究结果表明，在一种情况下识别产品/服务并使其适应另一种情况下满足需求的能力以及选择适当的竞争策略对于成功至关重要。但是，差异化策略似乎比低成本的领导策略更受青睐。学习和创造力是识别和利用机会的最佳手段。尽管家人和朋友在确定机会中起着重要作用，但是一旦公司成立，他们的重要性就会降低。
