Eva Tutchell, John Edmonds

Man-Made (eBook, ePUB)

Why So Few Women Are in Positions of Power

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Eva Tutchell and John Edmonds' Man-Made looks at women in business, government and not-for-profit organizations to explore the reasons behind - and the solutions to - the gross underrepresentation of women in leadership positions. Along the way, the authors look at the value of work for women and vice versa; how women are seen and how they are expected to behave; the impact of prejudice and discrimination; how some women have succeeded against the odds. The text draws on the authors' interviews with over 100 successful UK and international business women from across sectors, academic research, and the authors' own experience to offer a rigorous and convincing analysis, along with a pragmatic set of recommendations for change.
