Research on Women in International Business and Management: Then, Now, and Next

Abstract

To address the paradox that represents a shortage of women in management and senior leadership positions around the world, while research has consistently shown that having women in positions of influence leads to noteworthy organizational benefits, as guest editors for this special issue, we provide an overview of four key streams of cross cultural research on gender — women in international management, anthropology and gender, women’s leadership, and women’s entrepreneurship — which have been fairly well-developed but remain underexplored.

Keywords: Gender, International Business, Women, Cross-Cultural Management, Anthropology, Entrepreneurship, Leadership
