Abstract: The need for competent global managers is a pre-requisite in organizations today. Prior international experience is thus, often, mandatory in order to reach positions within top management. To gain international competence, an employee relocates to work in another country for a longer period of time commonly referred to as Expatriate assignments. Drawing on literature about women and work expatriation, the paper analyzes the complexity and multidimensionality of their experiences, positioning the discussion within the framework of gendered institutions. The paper concludes that typical expatriate, however, has traditionally been a man and still today, the females are disproportionately in low numbers in expatriate roles. Pressure from society on gender equality challenges organizations to increase their number of female expatriates. In order to explain the low share of female expatriates, prior research has foremost focused on the woman as an individual in the expatriation process rather than the organization's impact........

Key Words: Expatriate assignments, Female expatriates, gender equality, gendered institutions, perceived organizational support(POS).

Abstract: Although second-hand clothing market has a long history, its economic impact and worldwide significance rose in the early 1990s as a result of the deregulation of many emerging economies and rising demand from different countries (Brooks & David, 2012). As a result, second-hand clothing has become one of the most important tradeable commodities and a means of advancing the interests of the West. Trade agreements involving second-hand clothing have often been employed by the United States as a bargaining chip to achieve its objectives (Hansen, 2014). For instance, the US has utilized competitive pricing of cotton and wool fabrics, as well as ready-to-wear garments, to significantly reduce the attractiveness of second-hand clothing in domestic markets. Consequently, the export of second-hand clothing, particularly to Africa, has become an increasingly crucial component of trade (Nordas,2004).......
