China's rapid socio-economic development has achieved remarkable
equalizing conditions between men and women in the aspects of
health, education and labor force participation, but the glass
ceiling phenomenon has become more prominent. The book develops a
cross-disciplinary paradigm, with economics at its core, to better
understand gender in China and women in management in the Chinese
business context. The theoretical perspective integrates the
knowledge and evidence from cognate disciplinary strands, such as
economics, sociology, management studies, and the Chinese
literature, into one unified framework. In-depth interviews with
managers in China's largest enterprises complement the theoretical
perspective with rich empirical details to examine women's
managerial experiences and career choices. The book's argument
sheds light on the power of stereotypes that specify women's roles
in the family, organization, and society. It shows that
understanding the socio-psychological and organizational dynamics
of stereotyping in the Chinese context, as well as how Chinese
women make career decisions, recognizing and deploying these
expectations, provides new perspectives on the underrepresentation
of women among business leaders in China. The book offers
multi-disciplinary evidence on the economics of gender in China
that is highly relevant for gender studies in general, and across a
number of subject areas, and it can be used in any setting as an
introductory reference. The Open Access version of this book,
