Abstract

This work includes a gender perspective in the analysis of the international activity of firms located in the Principality of Asturias. It focuses on women involvement in firms’ international strategies, decisions, and activities. It shows a relevant gender gap: when dealing with firms’ internationalization, most decision makers are men, women face higher barriers and difficulties to get involved in this area. Furthermore, women that participate in firms’ internationalization decisions show a higher qualification than their male colleagues.
