Abstract
Going abroad as a business woman involves dealing with new political, economical, and cultural dimensions. The political aspects could have a striking effect on one's daily life. For example, in Saudi Arabia it is forbidden for women to drive cars. If a businesswoman is used to driving herself around, this change is quite severe. Also, most Western countries have certain requirements as to the hiring of labor with regard to race. Positive discrimination to minorities is evident in most societies.
Regarding the economical aspect, this is most likely the reason one works in another country. Driven by opportunities, this person is seeking a better future for himself/herself. The economic condition of a country will probably determine the field of action a person is in. For example, a businessman in Iran will almost certainly work in the oil and gas industry, whereas a businessman in the US will most likely work in the services sector.
