Since 2013, company boards in India have been legally required to
have at least one female director. However, gender diversity in
boardrooms across India remains below the global average, and a
number of the women who do serve on boards were appointed largely
because they are related to a founder or owner of a company. Since
India is recognised as one of the world's fastest growing emerging
economies, it is important to study in detail why gender diversity
at board level remains so low. Is this a result of workplace bias,
a pipeline issue, or due to other reasons? Gender Equity in the
Boardroom: The Case of India offers just this sorely needed study.
Drawing upon interviews with board members and executives of both
public and private companies, as well as with aspiring female
leaders who are currently at mid-management level, and
supplementing this with the authors' own survey of the make-up of
305 Fortune India 500 companies, this book offers incisive insights
into questions about board-level gender representation across
industries. Offering both rigorous research and analysis as well as
suggestions for practical policy changes, this book is essential
reading for HRM and leadership scholars, and is also of keen
interest to policymakers throughout the world.
The belief widely held in many countries is that a person with
epilepsy is seized by a supernatural force or power. This ancient
belief is reflected in the name of the disorder -- the word
"epilepsy" being derived from the Greek word "epilambanein" which
means "to seize or attack." We now know, however, that seizures are
the result of sudden, usually brief, excessive electrical
discharges in a group of brain cells (neurones) and that different
part of the brain can be the site of such discharges. The clinical
manifestations of seizures will therefore vary and depend on where
in the brain the disturbance first starts and how far it spreads.
Transient symptoms can occur, such as loss of awareness or
consciousness and disturbances of movement, sensation (including
vision, hearing and taste), mood or mental function.
