...from 1980 to now, this article charts the emerging themes and changes in the tone of discourse: from when organizations were debating whether to “give women a chance” through attempts to identify and remove “blockages” to women’s progress to, most recently, structural changes in the expatriate assignment and claims for women’s superior affinity to operating internationally. We highlight gaps in the current literature and propose a platform for future research. We conclude with recommendations for practice. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Introduction T he last two decades of the twentieth century and the early years of the twenty-first saw a significant rise in cross-border international business activity, driven by globalization and the domination of multinational corporations (MNCs): of the 100 largest economies in the world, some 30 are MNCs (Frenkel, 2006). International mobility has emerged in that context as a key competitive differentia- tor of organizational success in the global economy. Women’s international careers thus become a natural focus of attention for scholars and practitioners alike. This article contributes to...

...Students, Gone are the days when open distance learning (ODL) courses by institutes merely offered a correspondence course for a Bachelor's or a Master's degree. This concept has indeed come of age and is nearing its demise with its pair of foot all set for the liberated celestial journey with no possible signs of reincarnation. In this knowledge and information driven progressive economy, the trend has shifted towards several short-term and long-term diploma & certification courses based on the needs of the learner. As a result, many working professionals and those pursuing continuing education consider distance learning a valuable option. The ultimate vision of this college is to ensure that each young manager must possess the requisite research-oriented-business-acumen and the competitive managerial excellence in successfully tackling the new emerging management-related-problems of the country in the changing global scenario. The pedagogy used is interactive with cutting-edge techniques and innovation. This has gone long way to strengthen skills and expertise of students and to meet muchneeded requirement of management students; in turn industry/society at large. The Institute pioneered and today offers the richest programs on Interactive Distance Learning platform. I invite you to join us in our Endeavour to meet the needs of managerial manpower largely for the highly competitive Indian business environment. We welcome you to join the IIBM family.

...In recent years, it has risen to attention that the roles for men and women both in workplace and at home are changing due to the increase in the number of dual-career households and single-parent families (Hammer, Neal, Newsom, Brockwood & Colton, 2005). As a consequence, both human resources (HR) practitioners and researchers recognise the increasing demand of flexible workplace practices, such as flexitime, that can support employee’s work-life balance and reduce the level of work-family stress (Downes & Koekemoer, 2011; Hammer, et al., 2005). Flexitime is generally defined as a work arrangement that allows employees to have flexibility in term of when work is conducted, sometimes with a core working-hours requirement (Eaton, 2003). Whilst many organisations are introducing a flexitime system to meet employee’s demand, recent research shows that 54% of Australian organisations are reluctant to offer flexitime to employees (Kionos Australia, 2013). This indicates that, although a number of Australian organisations recognise the benefits of flexitime, more than half of the organisations consider flexitime as a challenging or ineffective arrangement. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate research relating to flexitime and clearly reveal its benefits and challenges. For the past decades, a considerable number of researches have been conducted to study the effects of flexitime. Kelly et al. (2008) carried out a comprehensive and critical review of literature...

...History 131 Janet Covert Alexander Hamilton Research Paper Rachelle Sorensen-Cox November 26, 2012 Alexander Hamilton was one of the men who built this country. What began simply as the published views and beliefs of Alexander Hamilton, became the doctrinal basis for one of the national, political parties Americans have subscribed to for over 200 years. Hamiltonians would today, be best be described as Democrats. Hamilton was a diverse leader, with a diverse skill set he excelled at both writing and finance. Disciplines’ that would serve him well. Our nation’s economic system was in part created by Alexander Hamilton. This achievement earned him a rightful spot on our country’s currency. A talented student and writer, Hamiton’s speeches, letters, pamphlets, essays and reports included regular contributions to The Federalist. He also keep good company, Alexander Hamilton had an impressive resume of friends and enemies. A long list of leaders, scholars and brethren such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin is the same list of men that are Alexander Hamilton’s peers. It has been said that “you are the company you keep” and it has also been said that Alexander Hamilton kept good company. As part of the original cast of characters that created this country, Hamilton’s remains one of the less well known stories, and one of the most essential ones. Hamilton’s input became some of the doctrine the American political system was created by. (Freeman)...

...will help. Once the goals are set, and the decision is made to go back to school, additional research and careful consideration is given in deciding what type of program to attend. There are basic considerations, including program and cost, but the future student should also consider that not all programs are created equal. Graduate study programs often have different objectives and focus (Kuther, PhD, 2013). It is the responsibility of the individual to ensure that the program of choice matches his or her desired learning preferences. I knew I wanted to be a nurse from the time I started college, and it did not take long working in the field to determine that I was meant for health care management. My BSN and management ability has enabled me to work my way up to a senior management position, as the Chief Nursing Officer, at a rural hospital. I believe that by obtaining the MSN/MHA dual degree, doors will continue to open in health care administration. For this reason, I have found my way back to school and I am a proud virtual student at University of Phoenix (UOPX). Through my life journey, I have worked hard to manage my demanding career while helping my wife raise a family and set a good example for our children. While I am traveling the path to my graduate degree, my goal is to succeed in making good grades and continue to manage my family and my career. In the long-term, I hope my decision to improve myself will reflect upon my children, and...

...Uni Name | Youth Labour Segmented Market Theories | Essay | | Client Name | @XXXXXXXX | | Contents Introduction 2 Segmentation of the Labour Market 3 Theories about Segmented Labour Markets 3 The Dual Labour Market Theory 6 Summary 9 References 10 Introduction The behaviour and life experiences of young people have vastly evolved throughout the past few decades. These changes impact on their relationships between family and friends, their experience of the job market, as well as the educational system and of course, their ability to establish themselves as an individual. According to Furlong and Cartmel (1997), many of these changes are due to the structural changes in the job/labour market. Further, the social organisation of taking different career paths in life has been replaced with more discrete variation (Haaland, 1991). Making that shift from school life to working life tend to be less determined, more flexible, and above all daunting (Ellingsæter, 1995). Beck (1997) and Giddens (1991) claim that the terms “individualisation” and “risk” are often associated with younger people’s behaviour and conditions within a labour society. Individualisation denotes the traditional social groups or segments that are of importance like gender, ethnicity and class are branded as being fragmented and somewhat less important (Pollock, 1997). Though, Furlong and Cartmel (1997) argue that these social structures are of importance and that...

...Issue Analysis Child rearing and career pursuit are commonplace during early adulthood although men and women experience the two differently for obvious reasons. Women have the biological requirement to carry the growing child during pregnancy and giving birth. Nature also wired women with a maternal instinct to nurture and care for their children. Biology places women in a position that often puts them at odds with their career objectives. The level of success of the feminist movement to place women on an equal platform in the workplace with men is debatable. Further, whether professional women are opting out of the workplace by choice or are forced out by socio-cultural pressures is in question. Some observers suggest that the feminist movement has not gone far enough whereas others suggest that the movement has already served its purpose. In this paper, I examine the pros and cons on either side of the issue. I will also explore optional roles adults may adopt through their primary roles as parent, spouse, or through career pursuits. Often professional women leave their careers giving family priority. However, the rationale that drives that choice is debatable. Strengths and Weaknesses of the Pro Side Linda Hirschman in an article titled “Homeward Bound,” takes the position that while publicly and professionally attitudes toward women’s roles have changed allowing them greater opportunity in the business world. However, Hirschman (2005 p. 341) notes “private lives have...

...labor force but the majority of top management positions in almost all countries are primarily held by men. Female managers tend to be concentrated in lower management positions and hold less authority than men. This suggests that something beyond just sex differences in career patterns must be at work to account for the huge difference in the number of men versus women in top management positions. Although women as a whole may place less emphasis on career success than men, there are a considerable amount of women who strive for top management positions and are unable to attain them. In a recent study almost three-fourths of women and two-thirds of men believe that an invisible barrier (a glass ceiling) prevents women from attaining top management positions. In this report we have tried to find out the barriers causing women advancement in organizational top levels referred to as “Glass Ceiling.” We have conducted our research among some of the top level organizations which are United International University (UIU), MERCANTILE BANK Limited (MBL), Islamic Bank Limited (IBL), and Mutual Trust Bank Limited (MTBL). Without their support we couldn’t have completed this report. Here we have conducted research about some of the factors which correspondents have identified as the major factors. The main intention of this report was to find out the actual barriers (if there is any) causing women to stand back in line, although they are well qualified to move up in the line. Based...
