The Last Male Bastion (eBook, ePUB)

Gender and the CEO Suite in America's Public Companies

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Last Male Bastion is the first systematic approach to the subject why, proportionately, so few women occupy seats of power in today's public companies. The book examines (1) a well-defined group (not random); (2) defined by the single most important criteria, success; (3) with success defined in one and only one way, as promotion to CEO of a Fortune 500 corporation. The book examines carefully the careers and experiences of 19 women who actually have "made it," female CEOs who have been (beyond peradventure) successful.
