AbstractIn this paper, we study the effect a CEO’s international work experience has on his or her compensation. By combining human capital theory with a resource dependence and a resource-based perspective, we argue that international work experience translates into higher pay. We also suggest that international work experience comprises several dimensions that affect CEO compensation: duration, timing and breadth of stays abroad. With data from Europe’s largest stock market firms, we provide evidence that the longer the international work experiences and the more numerous they are, the higher a CEO’s compensation. While, based on our theoretical arguments, we expect to find that later international work experiences pay off for CEOs, our empirical analysis shows that earlier international work experiences are particularly valuable in terms of compensation. In addition, our data support the argument that maturity allows a CEO to take advantage of the skills, knowledge and competencies obtained via international experience—and to receive a higher payoff. With our study, we improve the understanding of how different facets of a CEO’s background shape executive remuneration.

The U.S

This study examined the antecedents and outcomes of the internationalization of 61 new high-potential ventures in the U.S. The results indicate that internationalization is directly related to the use of product differentiation as a source of competitive advantage, the international work experience of the board of directors, and size at the point of the IPO. The use of low cost, product differentiation, or innovation as a source of competitive advantage, and size at the point of the IPO were directly related to sales growth in the two-year period following the IPO. Finally, the level of Internationalization at the time of the IPO is positively related to earnings two years later.

Expatriate Training

The present study examined the role of self-monitoring, expatriate training, and prior international work experience on the cultural intelligence of expatriates. The data was collected from 223 Indian expatriates through a questionnaire survey. The results of data analysis indicated that self-monitoring has a significant impact on the cultural intelligence of the expatriates. Further analysis was done to examine the effect of these independent variables on individual dimensions of cultural intelligence. The findings signify that self-monitoring has a significant effect on all the three cultural dimensions, namely, cognitive, emotional/motivational and behavioral, and that expatriate training has a significant impact on the emotional/motivational dimension, but not on the other two. Prior international work experience was found not to have a significant effect on cultural intelligence and its dimensions. These findings provide significant insights into organizations for selecting and training the expatriates leading to their effective adjustment and performance in a different culture context. This paper contributes to expatriate management literature highlighting the effect of personality variables along with expatriate training. Further, it is a contribution to the research in cultural intelligence which is a relatively nascent area of research.

Differential Effects

This study of 292 mid-career managers tested for differential effects of four categories of career success determinants across the sexes. Human capital variables were hypothesized to have stronger effects on men’s objective and subjective components of success than on womens’. The findings provided support in the cases of work experience and company tenure. In contrast, gender roles were hypothesized and found to have stronger effects on both components of success for women. For supportive relationships including mentors and peer networks, the effects were hypothesized and found to be stronger for men on the objective component and the same for men and women on the subjective component. Lastly, family status variables were hypothesized to affect the objective component of success in opposite directions for men and women, and the subjective component similarly. The fndings showed no’differential effect of family status on either component.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a commitment of the company or the business world to participate in the development of sustainable economy. It concerns companies’ social responsibilities as well as stresses the balance of economic, social, and environmental aspects. This research aims to analyze the influence of CEO’s international work experiences, foreign ownership and controlled variables of profitability and firm size on CSR disclosure. The sample of this research is represented by 134 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2014. It analyzes the companies’ annual reports using content analysis method based on the GRI G4. The data panel is analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of this research show that the CEO’s international work experience has a positive and significant effect on CSR disclosure. Profitability and firm size, taken as control variables, also have a significant positive effect on CSR disclosure.
