    The international protean career: four women’s narratives


    Crowley-Henry, Marian and Weir, David (2007) The international protean career: four women’s narratives. Journal of Organizational Change Management, 20 (2). ISSN 0953-4814

    Abstract

    In this paper, we share individual narratives outlining the experiences of four well-educated western women following a permanent international career in the South of France. By virtue of detailed interview transcripts and contextual information regarding the specificity of the location in question, a comprehensive picture of the experiences and choices of individual women in leadership business positions on an international level is painted. Our aim is not to generalise the findings to a wider population, but to gain an insight into the depth and complexity of career issues for women in general, and particularly for women working in a foreign country.
