Gender Perspective in Management Sameeullah Khan

Amongst the many traits that a person brings into an organization, Gender is possibly one of the most visible ones. Gender studies have been gaining importance both in industry and academic circles. This book examines how gender impacts on management and leadership roles, resulting in men and women's differential participation in senior positions in business organizations. The author has provided extensive theoretical explanations and empirical evidence concerning the gendered, ethnicised and sexualised assumptions underlying perceptions of management style; changing notions of work-life balance; occupational segregation; access to networking and professional development opportunities. The book is especially useful for students of business studies and students from various disciplines opting for Gender Perspective in Management as an elective or foundation course.
