In February-March 2023, we visited Sao Paulo, Brazil and Mexico City, Mexico. In Brazil, we conducted interviews with 7 diaspora entrepreneurs and 16 transnational self-initiated expatriate entrepreneurs. We visited their businesses and spent time engaging with the local nikkei population to gain an insight into the history and culture of the area. We visited various museums of immigration to track the history of Japanese migration and a coffee museum which helped us to understand the working conditions and background of the Japanese migrants to Brazil. In Mexico, we interviewed 6 transnational self-initiated expatriate entrepreneurs and 7 diaspora entrepreneurs. We can now proceed with our book on “Transnational Diaspora Entrepreneurship: Cases from Mexico, Brazil, and Japan.” We have altered the theoretical framework through which we will explore this topic. The theory of multifocality is a better fit for our context. Transnational entrepreneurship conceptualizes the role of multiple places and multiple groups in the creation, identification and seizing of opportunities by transnational migrant entrepreneurs. Multifocality (Solano, 2016) recognises that entrepreneurs belong to a number of groups, may have multiple identities, and work in multiple sites. We want to renew attention on how these individuals and their businesses should be understood beyond the common focus on the ‘country of residence-country of origin’ dichotomy, aiming to look at the complexities of entrepreneurship in this context.

2023年2 - 3月，我们访问了巴西圣保罗和墨西哥墨西哥城。在巴西，我们采访了7名散居国外的企业家和16名跨国自主创业的侨民企业家。我们参观了他们的企业，并花时间与当地的日经人口接触，以深入了解该地区的历史和文化。我们参观了各种移民博物馆，以追踪日本移民的历史，并参观了咖啡博物馆，这有助于我们了解日本移民到巴西的工作条件和背景。在墨西哥，我们采访了6名跨国自主创业的侨民企业家和7名侨民企业家。我们现在可以继续我们的书“跨国散居企业家精神：来自墨西哥，巴西和日本的案例”。我们已经改变了理论框架，通过它我们将探讨这个问题。多焦点理论更适合我们的背景。跨国创业概念化了多个地方和多个群体在跨国移民企业家创造、确定和抓住机会方面的作用。多焦点（索拉诺，2016）认识到，企业家属于多个群体，可能有多个身份，并在多个地点工作。我们希望重新关注这些个人及其企业应该如何超越对“居住国-原籍国”二分法的共同关注，旨在了解在这种情况下创业的复杂性。
