International Gender Gap
There are many American females working in China and in
India. Gender gaps more prevalent, however, exist in other
countries such as South Asia, parts of Africa and the Middle East.
Research and discuss how women are faring in overseas
assignments by American-controlled businesses. Are women holding
management positions in these assignments? Discuss at least one
country example (South Asia, part of Africa, the Middle East or
another area) where a gender gap exists due to cultural and/or
local practices. Select a country where the gap shows great
contrast in gender equality. Discuss what you have learned.When
U.S. managers go on assignments to foreign countries, women
managers in particular face the heat of gender differences. When we
talk of gender differences, Islamic nations come to our mind since
in their religion women are prohibited to step out of home and
work. However, the differences are not restricted to Islamic
nations, in fact, majority of Latinos, Africans, and Southern
Europeans segregate, control, and limit female behavior (“Managing
machismo…”, n.d). Foreign machismo however becomes a major problem
when US business women are on assignments overseas. While in US
there is gender equality, in regions like Middle East, South Asia
or Africa, people are not used to taking instructions from women.
Foreign women are relegated to subordinate positions even though
their role gives them much more authority. These regions assign too
little status to a US women manager …Topics of gender inequality
and staffing in international location are covered
