The purpose of this research is to identify marketable job skills that may be acquired through the online activities.

More than 25 years ago, social psychologist Faye Crosby discovered that "most women are unaware of having personally been victims of gender discrimination and dent it even when it is objectively true and they see that women in general experience it" (Ibarra, Ely, & Kolb, 2013).

Essentially, the problems of communicating knowledge-sharing across departments, divisions, and companies are further complicated for the combined virtual and traditional work teams.

See Powerpoint Presentation www.slideshare.net/DonnaZeller1 Current data, from sources such as the Wells Fargo International Business Indicator, identify that understanding 'doing business' in another country will gain importance. However, retailers successful in their home country, are challenged, and sometimes fail, when expanding in the global market. The overall objective of this article is to fill some of the gap in research on the strategies used by retailers in their globalization of their 'brick and mortar' stores. The purpose is to identify the strategies that contribute to their successes / failures in this effort.

Overall, there is a "changing perception around location and working hours"; thereby, contributing to an increase in hybrid (virtual/ traditional) office work policies and practices.

The objective is to shift from assessing formal job functions to understanding the deeper issues influencing the contribution of a global workforce to the multinational firm's strategic success.
