Success Patterns of Cuban-American Enterprises: Implications for Entrepreneurial Communities

Mark F. Peterson

Management Area, College of Business, Texas Tech University, Box 4320, Lubbock, Texas 79409.

Twenty-four of the most successful Cuban-born business founders in Dade County (Miami) Florida responded to a semi-structured interview. The sociology of enclave development provides the context for understanding the development of the larger Cuban-owned businesses in Dade County. The results indicate the sources of power upon which the entrepreneurs were able to draw, particularly their motivation and ability to use various forms of "Latin connections" with respect to suppliers, employees, and markets. The development of this enclave supporting entrepreneurial initiatives has implications for the potential for entrepreneurship in various communities in the post-Soviet world.

Key Words: entrepreneur • immigrant enclaves • diversity • Cubans
