Entrepreneurial migration from/in emerging economies, as grand societal and humanitarian challenges that we currently face, underscores the need for scholarly research. In our role as social science researchers, this special issue aimed to stimulate scholars from different social science fields to rethink more broadly about the opportunities for making an impact with our research focus on entrepreneurial migration from/in emerging economies. This article provides an overview of the theoretical, empirical, managerial, and policy implications of entrepreneurial migrants from/in emerging economies research. It puts forward key concepts and measures, explores the relations within the current broader literature on migration and entrepreneurship, and identifies several gaps that represent future research questions. We also introduce eight papers in a special section of this issue, which offer answers to critical gaps and questioning some taboos/stereotypes related entrepreneurial migrants. We conclude by outlining an agenda for engaging the academic community to extend research on entrepreneurial migrants from/in emerging economies. It is the perfect time to “make a difference” through our research, teaching, and interaction with multiple socioeconomic agents to constitute impacts that “endorse a real transformation” for supporting the migrants’ community.

作为我们当前面临的巨大的社会和人道主义挑战，新兴经济体中的企业家迁徙凸显了进行学术研究的必要性。在我们作为社会科学研究员的角色中，本期特刊旨在激发来自不同社会科学领域的学者对我们对新兴经济体中的企业家移民的研究产生更大影响的机会进行更广泛的反思。本文概述了新兴经济体研究中的企业家移民的理论，经验，管理和政策含义。它提出了关键的概念和措施，在当前有关移民和企业家精神的更广泛文献中探讨了它们之间的关系，并确定了代表未来研究问题的几个空白。我们还将在本期的特别部分中介绍八篇论文，这些论文为关键差距提供了答案，并对一些与企业家移民有关的禁忌/定型观念提出了质疑。最后，我们概述了使学术界参与进来的议程，以扩展对新兴经济体中/新兴经济体中的企业家移民的研究。现在正是通过我们的研究，教学以及与多个社会经济因素的互动来“产生影响”以构成“认可真正的转变”以支持移民社区的影响的完美时机。
