The purpose of this paper is to explore the way immigrant entrepreneurs (IEs) capture transnational opportunities in their home and host countries. Through an identity lens, this study adopts a qualitative approach in examining transnational entrepreneurship activities conducted by IEs from three countries (Indonesia, Pakistan and South Korea [henceforth Korea]) in one host country (Malaysia). The findings indicate that IEs’ home-host country identities enable them to recognize and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities in multiple countries through unique resources difficult to be imitated by competitors in their home and host countries. This paper contributes to the international entrepreneurship literature by introducing an identity-sensitive model of immigrant entrepreneurship in transnational spaces which will be useful for policy and practice concerning trade and migration.

通过双重身份捕捉跨国创业机会：移民企业家与跨国活动

本文的目的是探讨移民企业家 (IE) 在本国和东道国抓住跨国机会的方式。通过身份视角，本研究采用定性方法研究了来自三个国家（印度尼西亚、巴基斯坦和韩国 [以下简称韩国]）的 IE 在一个东道国（马来西亚）开展的跨国创业活动。研究结果表明，IE 的母国身份使他们能够通过其母国和东道国竞争对手难以模仿的独特资源，识别和利用多个国家的创业机会。
