From the supplier: A survey was conducted to obtain the opinions of male and female business students about international business (IB) careers. Eighty-five percent of respondents voluntarily chose to take an IB course, while 42% of males and 20% of females perceive that an IB career will lead to future success. The three main concerns that influence respondents' decision to accept overseas assignments are the stability of the country, opportunity to take a spouse and children and the compensation involved. These results show that recruitment strategies must include information about the social and political climate of a country. Policies allowing the presence of spouses and children should be emphasized. Decisions involving salaries, benefits and promotion must also be based on the stability of the country and policies on spouse and children.
