Professors Vinnicombe, Burke, Blake-Beard, and Moore have assembled
an internationally and intellectually diverse cast of contributors
to chronicle and examine the implications of the seismic shift in
women's roles in the global workforce. Collectively, they make a
strong case for why advancing women s careers is a key business as
well as societal issue that must be addressed if the full potential
of all societal members is to be tapped. This book belongs on the
bookshelf of all scholars of gender and career issues as an
essential reference.' - Gary N. Powell, University of Connecticut,
US'This is an excellent book posing key questions about women and
careers in leadership, such as why do women have less access to the
top jobs. It presents research on women's experiences in
leadership, discusses the barriers they face as well as initiatives
to promote their career advancement. I can see this being a
critical resource for those who research and teach women in
management.' - Fiona Wilson, University of Glasgow, UK 'As more
women take on highly visible leadership roles, such as CEO or
C-suite executive, I am often asked whether there continues to be a
need for research on women's career development. This book
effectively answers the challenge behind that question by
documenting the status of women in business and by marshaling
empirical evidence of gender effects on careers. The chapters
provide a rich, theoretically grounded overview of women's career
development and action steps for accelerating the growth of women's
representation in leadership.' - Alison M. Konrad, Western
University, Canada Why is it that relatively few women achieve
senior management positions despite their increasing levels of
education and years of work experience? How can we change this? In
a changing world where women have dominated as graduates from
universities in the West, recent research has shown that the same
trend is also strikingly evident in the newly emerging markets.
Tapping into this female talent pool is extremely important and
advancing women s careers has become a key business issue. This
Handbook lays out a number of promising approaches. First the
business case for doing so is presented. The challenges facing
women are reviewed, followed by various programs that address
particular needs such as mentoring, leadership development programs
for women, work and family initiatives, and succession planning.
Finally, case studies of award-winning organizational initiatives
are described. The book identifies obstacles women face in career
advancement and possible initiatives to address them. The work will
be highly sought by scholars and doctoral students interested in
women in organizations. Human resource managers and consultants
will also find plenty of invaluable information in this resource.
