This list is compiled by the Women of the Academy of International Business (WAIB) shared interest group.
Their article Unraveling the MNE wage premium explores the positive or negative impact of MNEs (Multinational Enterprises). The analysis focuses on employees, taking into account several factors such as gender, experience and immigrant status. One of the findings was that the impact of MNEs was positive for experienced and foreign-born employees in developed countries, but negative for females working in developing countries. This disparity is mainly dependent on conditions in the country hosting the MNE. Their research indicates that the generic positive impact of MNEs in host countries - particularly in developing countries - needs to be reassessed.
The mission of Women of the Academy of International Business shared interest group is to promote and support research on gender-related issues in international business. The group also provides support to the professional needs of women in this field.
