Figure 2
The figure shows a three-stage horizontal coding scheme progressing from left to right. On the far left, a vertical column labeled “Interview transcripts” precedes a stacked set of rounded rectangles representing first-order codes. These rounded rectangles are arranged vertically and labeled from top to bottom as follows: “Mother tongue”, “Bi or Multilingualism”, “Communication with other M E”, “Communication with G E”, “Communication with institutions”, “Knowledge exchange other M E”, “Knowledge exchange with G E”, “Knowledge exchange with instit”, “Knowledge on support measures”, “Entrepreneurial knowledge”, “Entrepreneurial networks”, “Neighbourhood networks”, and “Institutional networks”. From selected rounded rectangles, dashed connection lines extend toward the middle of the figure and point to three horizontally aligned oblong shapes representing second-order categories. The first order codes include “Mother tongue”, “Bi or Multilingualism”, “Communication with other M E”, “Communication with G E”, and “Communication with institutions”, which point to a box labeled “Language” in “Second-order Categories”. The first order codes include “Knowledge exchange other M E”, “Knowledge exchange with G E”, “Knowledge exchange with instit”, “Knowledge on support measures”, and “Entrepreneurial knowledge” point to a box labeled “Knowledge” in “Second-order Categories”. The first order codes, including “Entrepreneurial networks”, “Neighbourhood networks”, and “Institutional networks”, point to a box labeled “(Network) Affiliation” in “Second-order Categories”. From these three second-order categories, dashed lines extend further to the far right and point to a single box labeled “Power Relations”, which represents the aggregated theme. At the top of the figure, three icons with descriptive text reinforce the stages from left to right. Above the first column is the label “First-order Codes”, above the middle column is the label “Second-order Categories”, and above “Power Relations”, the label reads “Aggregated Theme”. At the bottom right, an explanatory note reads “M E equals migrant entrepreneurs, G E equals German entrepreneurs”.Coding scheme. Source: Authors’ own work
