There are relatively few women in senior executive positions and on the boards of major companies. Based upon research and in the context of contemporary management debates the authors argue the business case for promoting women to these positions in order to create more value for shareholders. The book draws upon interviews with chairpersons and chief executives and includes case study material.
'Businesses are fighting for talented people but, judging from the statistics, top level talent would appear to be largely a male preserve. This is, clearly, nonsense. Peninah Thomson and Jacey Graham's timely study has put forward, unequivocally, the case for greater female representation in boardrooms. This isn't about the need for positive discrimination; it's about responding effectively to a commercial imperative.' Tessa Jowell, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, and Minister for Women
