Utilizing theoretical insights from value creation approaches, the paper identifies how the organization attempted to construct value propositions, including how these were embedded in the program's design and actors' engagement. Moreover, it examines critically how these were interpreted, enacted and occasionally subverted through the perceptions and actions of the various actors involved in the program delivery.

This study fills this gap by drawing on interviews with 25 owner-managers of small Chinese shops operating in twelve shopping malls in South Africa. We found that most of them are lightly embedded in the country, due to the competitive nature of their business, language barriers, regulatory uncertainty and crime. At the same time, an inability to extricate themselves and find viable outlets for business elsewhere means that they remain negatively committed. However, a minority of enterprises were much more embedded; we explore the reasons behind this.

There are many indications for endotracheal intubation, including poor respiratory drive, questionable airway patency, hypoxia, and Hypercapnia. These indications are assessed by evaluating the patient's mental status, conditions that may compromise the airway, level of consciousness, respiratory rate, respiratory acidosis, and level of oxygenation.

The findings confirm that the additional barriers that women entrepreneurs face emerge from three dimensions (i.e. socio-interactional patterns, socio-psychological attachment and socio-cultural embeddedness) that influence the internationalisation of women-owned SMEs through the lack of foreign market knowledge and information and lack of international business experience. This study extends internationalisation and women entrepreneurship research by identifying novel dimensions of the barriers to socio-economic freedom landscape.
