Many businesses and organizations are increasingly aware of the
case for promoting gender equality, both within and outside their
organizational boundaries. Evidence suggests that gender equality
in the workplace boosts performance, and legal frameworks in many
countries mandate specific action on gender inequality in the
workplace. However, despite organizational policies on promoting
equality and equal opportunities, there remain challenges to be
overcome in many businesses, including throughout their supply
chains. The book provides research rationales as to why responsible
organizations must address the issue of gender equality in the
workplace. It also presents case studies, action research and
examples of good practices, describing how businesses and
organizations are working to promote gender equality in various
contexts. The book is designed to support the rationale for gender
equality in business and organizations, providing evidence of
implementation of gender equality in the workplace and advice on
how to deal with and overcome challenges. It will be of interest to
academics, employees, practitioners, policy-makers, businesses,
institutions and organizations.

Outlines the necessity for management educators to set new gender
equality agendasExplores gender inequality issues from a global
perspective and a range of business disciplinesProvides historical
context, including overview of Women's Empowerment Principles
This volume addresses the need to integrate gender equality into
business and management education and provides examples of leading
initiatives illustrating how this can occur from various
disciplinary and global perspectives. Gender inequality has a long
history in business schools and the workplace, and traditions are
hard to change. Some disciplines remain resolutely gendered,
affecting both women and men; and case materials on women leaders
and managers are still rare.The chapters provide conceptual and
research rationales as to why responsible management education must
address the issue of gender equality. They also identify materials
and resources to assist faculty in integrating gender issues and
awareness into various disciplines and fields. These include
specific case studies and innovations that assess or address the
role of gender in various educational environments.The book is
designed to help faculty integrate the topic of gender equality
into their own teaching and research and gain support for the
legitimacy of gender equality as an essential management education
topic. This is the first book in a series on gender equality as a
challenge for business and management education, published with the
Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) Working Group
on Gender Equality.
