This qualitative phenomenology research explored immigrant female entrepreneur's use, writing, and implementation of a strategic plan. The purpose delved into the lived experiences of Maryland immigrant women-owned businesses. Study significance addressed insights into foreign-born women entrepreneurs contributing multicultural influences into local economic development. Organizational knowledge leadership provided the conceptual framework. Snowballing identified the participants. Pseudonyms and coding processes protected the identities of the participants. The pilot study of two, from the Philippines and Italy, validated the interview questions and interview protocols. Jamaica, Guadeloupe, Serbia, Vietnam, Laos, Australia, El Salvador, Iran, Belarus, and Ghana comprised the 12 full study participants. Microenterprise status characterized all the businesses in the study. Seven industries represent the entrepreneurial endeavors (legal, financial, ethnic restaurant, florist, health/wellness, beauty, and art). Eight themes emerged (vision, goals, and priorities, work ethic, relationships, financial health, technology and marketing, and informal written strategic plan). Limitations included finding foreign-born women business owners willing to participate. Findings revealed 66.67% of the micro enterprises without strategic plans. Future studies include examining foreign-born female entrepreneurs', in counties not included in this study. Focusing on a particular industry of foreign-born entrepreneurs provides study opportunities. Foreign-born women are an untapped economic engine creating jobs.
