“…In light of this situation, we argue that in our East Asian context, females assign greater importance to social status and to self-realization, both of which may have been suppressed but which they want to pursue in their social life, than they do to other desired outcomes, especially monetary ones (Kobeissi, 2010). Research has suggested that women entrepreneurs tend to be more sensitive to social status and self-realization (Kupferberg, 2003). Therefore, we hypothesize:…”

Focusing on the East Asian context, this study examines (1) cultural and gender differences in entrepreneurial intention, (2) the mediating effects of culture and gender on the relationships between entrepreneurial intention and expectancies of positive entrepreneurial outcomes, and (3) the results of entrepreneurial intention of females. The findings reveal that while Chinese students have a greater entrepreneurial intention than South Korean students, the relationships between entrepreneurial intention and outcome expectancies are stronger in South Korean than in Chinese students. In terms of gender, males have a greater entrepreneurial intention than females. The relationships between entrepreneurial intention and outcome expectancies are stronger in male than in female students. Social status and selfrealization are the entrepreneurial outcomes that females value most.

“…the cultural resources have been identified by past research as both enablers and obstacles for MWEs (Dhaliwal and Kangis 2006;pécoud 2010;Azmat 2013;Huggins and thompson 2014). For example, some authors have indicated that ethnic minority businesses capitalize on cultural characteristics such as their social capital, linguistic skills, cultural knowledge and ethnic contacts to gain a competitive advantage (Kupferberg 2003;Dhaliwal and Kangis 2006;verduijn and Essers 2013). On the contrary, some argue that racial, linguistic, religious and cultural differences act as an artificial wall immigrants need to break through before they can enter the mainstream labour market (Ensign and Robinson 2011).…”

“…Their status as English language learners drives them into entrepreneurship. (Friman, 2004;Kupferberg, 2003;Yoo, 2000). Yoo (2000), through interviews with 159 Korean entrepreneurs in Atlanta, discovered that recent newcomers are less educated than their earlier counterparts.…”

“…They are more likely to enter into gendered business niches such as nail salons, clothing stores, and hair braiding (Collier, 2006;Kang, 2001;Kim, 1999;Kupferberg, 2003;Lee, 2003). Lee's (2003) qualitative study of Korean nail salon owners in New York found that Korean immigrant women are more likely to open nail salons because doing so conforms to traditional gender roles in Korea.…”

Characterized by both cultural and gender-based barriers to English language learning, language learning is a continual process of identity renegotiation, as several theorists have argued. While this identity renegotiation has been explored for women who assume the roles of wives, daughters, and employees, less attention has been directed to the dynamic language use processes that occur for women who intermix the role of entrepreneur into their already complex lives. This article examines how one immigrant woman business owner used social and task-oriented talk in the L1 and the L2 to move beyond boundaries of race, culture, and language when interacting with her African American clientele and her Chinese workers. The analysis also draws upon interview responses from more than 20 bilingual women entrepreneurs to highlight their challenges, triumphs, and shifting identities as they navigate their roles as English language learners, entrepreneurs, and women.
