Women in Management
Current Research Issues

October 1994 | 336 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
The overall aim of this book is to present a comprehensive overview of the current international research findings concerning women in management. The international group of eminent contributors highlight the major barriers and problems facing managers, discuss the individual and organizational consequences and recommend organizational and legislative changes.

This book will contribute to a greater understanding of what true employment equality is and how it can be achieved. Many different issues are addressed which will add to the knowledge and practical experience of managers, more of whom are becoming increasingly aware of their responsibilities in increasing the women-friendliness of their organizations.
