The Expatriate Glass Ceiling: The Second Layer of Glass

The corporate glass ceiling continues to be a challenge for many organizations. However, women executives may be facing a second pane of obstruction – an expatriate glass ceiling – that prevents them from receiving the foreign management assignments and experience that is becoming increasing critical for promotion to upper management. The responsibility to break the expatriate glass ceiling lies with both female managers and the multinational corporations that utilize expatriates. In this paper, we propose pre-assignment, on-assignment, and post-assignment strategies for breaking the expatriate glass ceiling.     

A decade of corporate women: some progress in the boardroom,none in the executive suite

This study examines the extent to which women have circumvented the glass ceiling by empirically examining whether there has been an increase in women’s representation on corporate boards and CEO positions over the 10‐year period from 1987 to 1996. Results indicate greatly increased representation on corporate boards. There is, however, no evidence of progress in, or towards, the CEO suite. Moreover, there is no evidence of that circumstance abating in the next several years. The number of female inside directors, an intermediate, and requisite, position in the succession to CEO, is astonishingly small, only 0.006 percent. Notably, there has been no increase in that proportion over the last decade. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Returns to education and gender gap

The Italian gender wage gap is related to a gap in returns to education which causes a sizable glass ceiling effect. The gap is detected by quantile regressions implemented in different subsets. Quantile regressions allow computation of both the average gap and the divergence in the tails of the wage distribution. Comparison of the equations estimated separately for men and women, reveals a divergence in wage determinants for the average and for all quantiles. The statistical relevance of this divergence is verified by a test of changing coefficients. By repeatedly implementing this test to compare subsets of different regions, cohorts, and education levels, it is possible to rank the factors affecting the gap and to pinpoint at which quantile their impact is greater. Gender turns out to be a relevant source of changes to the coefficients, particularly for the top quantiles, and the regional variable interacts with the returns to education gap, determining a sizeable glass ceiling on southern women’s careers.

玻璃工业用耐火材料做大做强的思考

随着玻璃工业的发展,我国的玻璃窑用耐火材料也取得了长足进步。但是目前我国的耐火材料产业存在着企业多、规模小、力量分散等状况,制约了行业的发展,已成为阻碍玻璃工业做出更大贡献的主要原因。本文提出应把耐火材料产业做大做强,才能适应玻璃工业发展和开拓国际市场新形势的需要。建设成实力雄厚的科工贸一体化的耐火材料龙头企业,加大科技投入,建立设计、生产、使用的崤密协作关系,采用新工艺新技术使耐火材料有更快的发展,是把耐火材料产业做大做强的整体构思。
