"This book provides an in-depth comparative exploration of gender diversity in corporate leadership roles in China and India. Set in the context of changing corporate governance norms, it utilizes both quantitative and qualitative research methods to understand the key determinants of gender disparity. It identifies global, national and enterprise level factors shaping gender diversity in the corporate board room; and measures their economic, political, and sociocultural impacts on two of the world's largest economies. The book draws upon narratives of women leaders to bridge the gap between theory and data, examining possible solutions to achieve gender parity in organisational hierarchies. Topical and detailed, this book will be an essential read for scholars, practitioners and researchers of gender studies, corporate governance, business studies, human resource management, public policy, social anthropology, and Asian studies"--

Transnational corporations (TNCs) have moved to the forefront of regulatory governance both within states and in the international arena. The Research Handbook on Transnational Corporations provides expert background commentary and up-to-date insights into regulatory frameworks impacting on TNCs at global, industry and national levels. Written by global experts in their field, this unique collection of essays provides in-depth understanding of how the forces of globalisation affect the world’s largest corporations, and how those corporations, in turn, shape globalisation. Comprehensive yet highly accessible, this is the first major work on the reciprocal impact of TNCs on regulatory processes. The Research Handbook provides guidance on how best to understand the rapidly evolving relationship between TNCs and the processes of treaty making, the formation of global industry standards and the processes of national law making and policy formation (with a focus on resource taxation). Global, industry and national-level case studies are used to explain the basic principles used to support state, private, and international regulatory programs. Delivering both theoretical and practical insights into the regulation of TNCs, this timely and authoritative Research Handbook will be of particular interest to policy makers, industry practitioners and lawyers. Students and academics will also find it to be an invaluable resource.
