Book Description
Imagine the irritations of getting unsatisfying service with Western corporations whose products are sold strictly online. Perhaps it was another Amazon.com order that was never delivered to a residence in New Delhi, India, an uncertain TransUnion error made on the credit of an individual in Hong Kong, or a lack of action by Citibank to refund a Nigerian customer’s account. Receiving incompetent management feedback or the corporate’s reluctance to resolve minor customers’ issues are unlimited in the United States and even greatly unconstrained in the global environment. These consumer conflicts elevated to the global environment become massive, and are destructive to the global consumer domain structure of the Global Female consumer, her online engagement behavior and confidence, and online companies branding on a global level. Such Non-Western consumer and corporate conflict interactions can create a catastrophe of cultural wars and clashes. This book discusses the cross-cultural study, which determines if Western corporations’ computer-mediated-communication complaint of a select group of global female consumer, who were born, raised, and live in China, Nigeria, and India, is affected by their self-confidence, cultural norms, or language barriers. The book follows a scholarly study which determined the factors that make Western corporations’ online tools unfavorable to the select group of global females when it comes to expressing their concerns as opposed to complaining and addressing conflict issues with the local native businesses in their country. In addition, the study explored the difference in her confidence level and behavior during a complaint using corporate computer-mediated-communication tools contrasted with social media platforms (i.e. Facebook or Twitter). This book show cases the global female consumer’s experience to explore whether she is welcomed, treated as a family member, friend, guest, visitor or stranger during her online shopping. Since her perspective and complaint is an important component to Western corporations’ global success this book illustrates how her voice and money matters.

Women and Trade
Author: World Bank
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464815569
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Trade can dramatically improve women’s lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choices, and increasing women’s bargaining power in society. It can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in low-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is essential to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based policies to ensure that trade helps to enhance opportunities for all.Research on gender equality and trade has been constrained by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections among the economic roles that women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analyses and new sex-disaggregated data, Women and Trade: The Role of Trade in Promoting Gender Equality aims to advance the understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which trade can improve the lives of women.

Author: Andrei O. J. Kwok
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811927499
Category : Business & Economics

This book brings together valuable insights about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business environment from an Asian perspective.

Businesses are striving to respond, adapt, and thrive under the shadow of the unprecedented upheaval to the business environment that has forced them to rethink their strategies, processes, and operating models. There seems to be a consensus among business scholars and stakeholders that the continuous embrace of change and transformation of business models will assist businesses to sustain a long-term competitive advantage. The chapters in this book explore shifts in business innovation and strategies linked to the “new normal” of doing business during the pandemic, bringing to light issues, challenges, and opportunities that firms can expect to face in their need to ensure sustainability post-pandemic and beyond.

Global Women's Entrepreneurship Research
Author: Karen D. Hughes
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1849804753
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Global Women's Entrepreneurship Research responds to recent calls from academic researchers and policy analysts alike to pay greater attention to the diversity and heterogeneity among women entrepreneurs. Drawing together studies by 26 researchers affiliated with the DIANA International Research Network, this collection contributes to a richer and more robust understanding of the field. Part I: 'Diverse Settings' introduces research set in a range of contexts, from those rarely examined to those representing more familiar terrains. Part II: 'Diverse Questions' explores new questions and reframes old questions in fresh, innovative ways. Part III: 'Diverse Approaches' features studies with distinct methodological approaches that reflect and extend the rigour and creativity of research in this field. Together, the research assembled in this volume significantly advances knowledge about women's entrepreneurship around the world. While the book's primary audience is academic researchers and graduate students working in the areas of women's entrepreneurship, as well as entrepreneurship and family business more generally, it will also be of interest to scholars working in related research areas in the sociology of gender, work and organizations. Policy-makers in government and non-government agencies as well as profit and not-for-profit organizations that provide services to, or conduct research on, women entrepreneurs will also benefit greatly from the insights provided in this unique volume.
