Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to unveil within the current academic literature the principal directions in the ethnic entrepreneurship and small business marketing research context.Design/methodology/approachAn automated literature analysis procedure was undertaken, attempting to cover all literature published on the subject since 1962. A total of 188 articles were analysed using text mining and topic modelling.FindingsThe results show a lack of framing of ethnic entrepreneurship literature outside the narrower scope of migration. Some core themes were found (e.g. network, diversity) around which several other themes orbit, including both related issues to the ethnic factor (e.g. barriers and minorities) and managerial issues (e.g. marketing and production).Originality/valueEthnic minority business and small business marketing research has seen a growing number of publications. However, a careful review of existing work is missing.
