Business internationalisation through the gender glasses (original) (raw)

Portal de Transparencia de ICEX, 2021

Abstract

Empirical analysis based on the universe of Spanish companies which have had any relationship with ICEX in the period starting in 2003. They amount to more than 190,000 companies in number, and we have linked our own data with data from other external sources, such as the statistics on foreign trade in goods from the Spanish General Directorate of Customs (AEAT) and economic data in the Business Registry, through Informa D&B. The study attempts to answer the following relevant questions: - Are there any specific training or capacity building needs in internationalization based on gender? - Are there any differences in the characteristics of the company with an interest in internationalization depending on the gender of either the leader or the actual owner of the company? - What has been the impact of ICEX’s support on female participation in the company’s Boards of Directors and Management Committee? - Are there any differences in the use of ICEX support services based on the gender of either the leader or the actual owner of the company? - Are there any differences in the target markets for ICEX support services based on the gender of either the leader or the actual owner of the company? - Are there any differences in the export pathways for goods depending on the gender of either the leader or the actual owner of the company?
