`This very impressive Handbook takes established research   topics about women in management and treats them in fresh and novel ways.   The chapters are intellectually interesting, sound, and provocative, and   meet the editors' aspiration to stimulate high quality research on women's   experiences in work organizations. I recommend it highly.'     - Jean M. Bartunek, Boston College, US    This comprehensive Handbook presents specially commissioned original essays   on the societal roles and contexts facing women in business and management,   the specific career and work-life issues of women in these fields,   organizational processes affecting women, and the role of women as leaders   in business and management. The essays shed light on the extant structures   and practices of society and organizations that constrain or facilitate   women's representation, treatment, quality of life, and success.    Despite decades of ongoing inquiry and increasing interest, research on   women in business and management remains a specialized field without   mainstream acceptance within business and management disciplines. The   Handbook presents the current state of knowledge about women in business   and management and specifies the directions for future research likely to   be most constructive for advancing the representation, treatment, quality   of life, and success of women who work in these fields. It provides the   foundations for improved societal and organizational structures, policies,   and relational practices affecting all in business and management.  Thus,   by enhancing the knowledge base that improves the work and life situations   of women, it suggests ways to elevate the societal and organizational   systems for all.     The Handbook will be an essential reference source for recent advances in   research and theory, informing both scholars of organization studies,   gender, diversity, and feminism; human resource specialists; and educators   of and consultants to business organizations and management.
