520 $a The goal of this dissertation is to examine the impact of class, ethnic, and gender resources on the formation, development, and the current structure of the formal sector of the Iranian ethnic economy in Dallas, Texas. Iranian Ethnic economy refers to self-employed Iranians and employers, and their co-ethnic employees.
520 $a The data analyzed in this dissertation were collected during twenty four months of field work. The methodology involved the distribution of 3500 questionnaires in the community of which 485 were collected, collection of fifty-seven questionnaires from Iranian business owners, in-depth face-to-face and telephone interviews with forty-five self-employed Iranian men and women, content analysis of a local Iranian magazine for the past three years, review of a random sample of business commercials broadcasted on one of the local Iranian radio stations, and reconstructed census materials from Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Bureau of Census.
520 $a The ethnographic analysis reveals that the Iranian ethnic economy encompasses three types of enterprises: enterprises with ethnic clientele, enterprises with non-ethnic clientele, and enterprises with mixed clientele.
520 $a In addressing the role of Iranian women in the Iranian ethnic economy on the basis of sexual division of labor and the familial authority structure a typology of family-run-businesses is developed. The typology includes the egalitarian-family-run-businesses, the male-dominated-family-run-businesses, and the female-dominated-family-run-businesses.
520 $a The analysis of data reveals that ethnic media, ethnic professional associations, network of kin and friends, and co-ethnic employees are the most significant ethnic resources utilized by Iranian ethnic entrepreneurs in their economic activities. Since a significant number of Iranian proprietors in the sample were neither self-employed nor had self-employed fathers in Iran, the cultural aspects of the class resources of entrepreneurship falls short as an explanation of Iranian entrepreneurship in Dallas. However, when the socioeconomic aspects of social class such as education, occupation and money to invest are considered, a stronger correlation between class resources and entrepreneurship appears.
