Recenzje

"This volume examines the opportunities and barriers facing women managers in Asia. Written by international academics, each of eight case studies places research findings on women managers within an individual country’s unique cultural, social, legal, and economic environment. Coverage includes a mix of developed and developing countries. A broad theoretical approach takes into account the impact of both gender and organizational culture. The material in this volume was previously published as a special issue of Asia Pacific Business Review." --Reference & Research Book News
