Gender in Management: A research approach to gender and women from management theories and practice perspectives

There is increased attention from media, policymakers, and academia to the role and behavior of women in business. This is mainly due to women's increasing participation and role in the corporate world, as managers, leaders, and founders. Despite these trends, women are still underrepresented in many industries, among leaders, on boards of directors, and their corporate behavior seems to be different as well, with their businesses experiencing high failure rates, and showing a low likelihood to join family businesses. Thus, recent research has paid much attention to understanding the drivers and challenges that women face in the business sphere, and their impact on businesses, innovation, and society. In this seminar, we will discuss the recent research on women and gender in business.
