International Business Research : Culture, Work, Employment, and Leadership
Drawing on contributions from nine prominent scholars, the book reflects on global aspects of research in work, employment, leadership, management, and business.It follows current trends in global business research and recommends directions for closing the gaps between theory and practice for the benefit of executives in multinational corporations, academics, and international transients. Work and employment remain important and a core part of life, giving not only a sense of purpose, routine and meaning, but also independence and the ability to connect and contribute to the lives of others and society.Leadership styles and management behaviors in earlier multi-country studies did not demonstrate significant associative patterns regarding interpersonal leadership in different countries, and the use of mainstream single-country leadership meta-categories was invalidated.Thus, future studies of leadership should focus on investigating interpersonal leadership across national borders in combination with contemporary trends such as distance leadership, global virtual teams, and intersectionality.As more and more people seek employment across borders, various types of sojourners, specifically millions of low status international workers, with some few exceptions, have largely been ignored by scholars who study international mobility.This failure adds to the research - practice gap between scholars who investigate, and the practitioners who manage, sojourners of all status levels. This book will appeal to scholars in leadership, management, international business, cultural studies and to practicing managers.The chapters in this book were originally published in International Studies of Management & Organization.

Why are women still strongly underrepresented in leadership positions?
Women are still strongly underrepresented in leadership positions due to a variety of factors, including gender stereotypes and biases that perpetuate the belief that men are more suited for leadership roles. Additionally, there is a lack of support and opportunities for women to advance in their careers, as well as systemic barriers such as the gender pay gap and lack of access to mentorship and sponsorship. Cultural norms and expectations around caregiving and household responsibilities also play a role in limiting women's ability to pursue and excel in leadership positions.
-
Why are people in leadership positions usually like that?

These qualities may include strong communication skills, the ability to make difficult decisions, and the capacity to inspire and motivate others. Additionally, individuals in leadership positions often have a strong sense of responsibility and a willingness to take on challenges. These traits, combined with experience and expertise in their respective fields, often contribute to their success in leadership roles.

What is the difference between positions that are mini-jobs and positions that are temporary jobs?
Mini-jobs are typically part-time positions with limited hours and lower pay, often designed for students or individuals looking for supplemental income. Temporary jobs, on the other hand, are positions that are intended to last for a specific period of time, such as covering for a maternity leave or filling in during a busy season. Temporary jobs may be full-time or part-time and can offer a wider range of responsibilities and pay compared to mini-jobs. Additionally, temporary jobs may also provide benefits such as healthcare or retirement plans, while mini-jobs typically do not offer these benefits.
-
Do we need a legal quota for women in leadership positions?
Implementing a legal quota for women in leadership positions can be a controversial topic. While some argue that it is necessary to address gender inequality and promote diversity in leadership, others believe that quotas may not be the most effective solution. Instead, they argue for measures such as promoting equal opportunities and addressing systemic barriers that hinder women's advancement. Ultimately, the need for a legal quota for women in leadership positions depends on the specific context and the effectiveness of other measures in promoting gender equality and diversity in leadership.

Can you explain how former Nazi supporters regained leadership positions after 1949?
After World War II, some former Nazi supporters were able to regain leadership positions by hiding their past involvement with the Nazi regime or by receiving lenient treatment from the Allied powers. The denazification process in Germany was not always thorough, allowing some former Nazis to re-enter politics, business, and other sectors. Additionally, the Cold War context led to a shift in priorities, with the focus shifting towards countering the Soviet Union, which sometimes meant overlooking the past of certain individuals. This enabled some former Nazi supporters to regain influence and power in post-1949 Germany.

For what reason did the National Socialists regain leadership positions after 1945?
The National Socialists did not regain leadership positions after 1945. The Nazi party was banned and many of its leaders were either killed, imprisoned, or went into hiding. The Allied powers, particularly the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union, played a major role in dismantling the Nazi regime and ensuring that its leaders were held accountable for their crimes during World War II. The Nuremberg Trials, held from 1945 to 1949, prosecuted many Nazi leaders for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other atrocities. The Nazi party and its ideology were widely discredited and condemned, and efforts were made to prevent the resurgence of such extremist movements in the future.
