Following on from the successful Women in Management: Current Research Issues, this volume provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of current international research findings pertaining to women in management, reflecting recent global changes and issues.

Like its predecessor, this volume brings together an international group of eminent academics, who review the major contemporary issues facing women in management, as well as the individual, organizational, and governmental consequences of these changes.

Some of the key topics covered in this far-reaching text include:

• Global perspectives on women in business
• Career development issues for women managers (including discussions of highflyers, networking, leadership)
• Race and gender issues for black and ethnic minority managers
• The future of the glass ceiling
• A review of the increasingly popular ?management of diversity? approach
• Masculinity of management issues
• A look ahead to future organizational and governmental initiatives on women in management

And may other areas of growing concern to management studies.

Women in Management: Current Issues in Research II will be a vital resource for scholars and students in management, business, occupational psychology, industrial sociology, and gender studies. In addition, related work groups such as Personnel, Occupational Management, Management Consultants, and Trainers, as well as Trade Unionists should find this book essential to read. 

Based on the author's analysis of in-depth interviews and relevant research literature, this booki nvestigates and explores the experiences, problems and pressures faced by black and ethnic minority women managers in the United Kingdom. To date, research addressing the issues of black managers has been almost exclusively American, predominantly black African-Americans, and the overall amount of published research has been limited. Indeed, studies of black and ethnic minority professional women, especially in corporate settings, have been virtually excluded from the growing body of research on women in management. This book has been written to fill this gap.

The overall aim of this book is to present a comprehensive overview of the current international research findings concerning women in management. The international group of eminent contributors highlight the major barriers and problems facing managers, discuss the individual and organizational consequences and recommend organizational and legislative changes.

This book will contribute to a greater understanding of what true employment equality is and how it can be achieved. Many different issues are addressed which will add to the knowledge and practical experience of managers, more of whom are becoming increasingly aware of their responsibilities in increasing the women-friendliness of their organizations.
