By necessity, understanding of leadership has been based on who
used to be business leaders, namely men. In the last few years,
Asian women have been making their mark in corporate America.
Although Asian women have become part of the American workforce,
and some have achieved spectacular success, there is little
discussion about them. Many of these women could be first general
immigrants, still balancing the strong pull of two cultures. Even
for second or third generation immigrants, Asian cultures can often
exert immense pressures. Thus, the achievement of these women
deserves far more attention than it has received, and comprehensive
research on these advances should be presented. Asian Women in
Corporate America: Emerging Research and Opportunities traces the
history of Asian women's presence as executives of major American
corporations, presents biographical sketches of a select few, draws
upon factors (individual, corporate, and societal) that influenced
their journeys, and links to past theories on business leadership.
The chapters serve to bring attention to a minority group in
leadership and extricates factors that helped in the success of
Asian American women in these prominent roles. While highlighting
topics such as existing leadership theories, gender and ethnicity
in leadership, models of theories regarding Asian women, and their
involvement in major corporations, this book is a valuable
reference tool for managers, executives, researchers,
practitioners, academicians, and students working in fields that
include women's studies/gender studies, business and management,
human resources management, management science, and leadership.
