applying gender perspectives, e.g., understanding how gender patterns, dynamics and biases can influence for instance the development of technology or knowledge transfer
gender as a category for analysis, e.g., do female leaders face different challenges than male leaders, or will international firm performance differ if owned and/or governed by men compared to by women
incorporating gender as a variable, e.g., gender’s interaction with other variables to predict organizational attractiveness, or brand origin recognition
