abstract = "This study explores the role of local networks of transnational diaspora entrepreneurs in their countries of origin. Drawing on findings from two extensive case studies, we show that contrary to current literature, local networks particularly family ties maybe counterproductive of diaspora entrepreneurs as they engage in transnational entrepreneurship. We discuss the implications of our findings in relation to literature particularly when diaspora entrepreneurs{\textquoteright} countries of origin are developing countries, saddled with weak institutional arrangements and environments.
