Description
This book offers a radical reassessment of organizational forces for change and barriers encountered by the `challenging women’ – senior women managers faced with the task of transforming their organizations. Much has been written about women at work, the `glass ceiling’ and discriminatory employment practices. This study is seminal in the linkage it makes between gender, innovation and organizational transformation. The book highlights the implications of this for all types of organizations and women managers everywhere. Su Maddock is Senior Research Fellow at Manchester Business School. She has worked as an organizational design consultant in the public sector.
