Global careers for women managers, 1997

Full description

In 1995 the authors were commissioned by the Australian Research Council to investigate the personal, organisational and cultural barriers to women managers' global placements. The research involved gathering baseline data on the number of men and women currently employed as expatriates in Australian private sector organisations, in respect of size of organisation, industry, occupational function, and country and length of placement. Organisational attitudes to international placements of women were sought, and organisational policies and practices commonly associated with the recruitment, selection and management development of expatriates were identified. In the survey expatriates were defined as someone employed by an organisation on an international appointment, in a country other than Australia, for six months or more. The survey of companies was designed to elicit details of the location, functional areas, and occupational levels of both male and female expatriates, together with their marital status and educational levels.
