Book Description
Designed to meet the needs of students, teachers, practitioners, and researchers, this fascinating and insightful, contemporary text is from an author who is a research scholar in the area of leadership, gender, and organizational studies. The book provides a firm grounding in theory driven by mixed methods research, including the inquiry into leadership behaviors in India. It uniquely addresses two profound changes taking place in the 21st century: namely, the explosion of interest in the leadership of India’s growing service industry, and secondly, the emergence in the leadership of women in service sectors of India. Globalization demands the reliance on effective organizational leadership, and women’s leadership in India specifically has long gone unexamined. This book brings the understanding of this remarkable leadership of women to life through the use of case studies that capture their extraordinary real lives, and a survey of their team members. Remarkable Contributions: India’s Women Leaders and Management Practices is drawn from the author’s funded research on leadership behaviors, women in management, and organizations. Key Features: Boxed, inserted case examples illustrate key concepts and methodological findings, exposing the readers to a variety of applications of leadership behaviors. Multiple research methods, such as the survey, in-depth interviews, and case studies, build upon the content of the book to examine leadership behaviors and styles in India. A diverse leadership study offers suggestions and information based on the author’s successful experiences in conducting the studies with experts in the field both in India and abroad. A review of studies strengthens the methodological instruction order to aid the research findings. Exclusive survey responses from the leader’s team members on their perceptions of women leaders in India. Cross-cultural context of leadership, covered through reviewing international studies on work cultures and environments.

Scandalous Economics
Author: Aida A. Hozic
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190204257
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Of all of the lies, fragile alliances, and predatory financial dealings that have been revealed in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, we have yet to come to terms with the ways in which structural inequalities around gender and race factor into (and indeed make possible) the current economic order. Scandalous Economics is about "silences" - the astonishing neglect of gender and race in explanations of the Global Financial Crisis. But, it is also about "noises" - the sexual scandals and gendered austerity policies that have relegated public debate, and the crisis itself, into political oblivion. While feminist economists and movements such as Occupy Wall Street have pointed to the distributional inequalities that are an effect of financial deregulation, scholars haven't really grappled with the representational inequalities inherent in the way we view the politics of the market. For example, capitalism won't be made more equitable simply by appointing women to leadership positions within financial firms or corporations. And the next crisis will not be averted if our understandings of gendered inequalities are framed by sexual scandals in media and popular culture. We need to look at the activities and the privileges of the advantaged - the "TED women" of the crisis -- as much as the victimization of the disadvantaged - to fully grasp the interplay between gender and economy in this fragile age of restoration. Scandalous Economics breaks new ground by doing precisely this. It argues that normalization of the post-GFC economic order in the face of its obvious breakdown(s) has been facilitated by co-optation of feminist and queer perspectives into national and international responses to the crisis. Scandalous Economics builds upon the Occupy movement and other critical analysis of the GFC to comprehensively examine gendered material, ideational and representational dimensions that have served to make the crisis and its effects, 'the new normal' in Europe and America as well as Latin America and Asia.

Gender Differences at Critical Transitions in the Careers of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Faculty
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 030915586X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Gender Differences at Critical Transitions in the Careers of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Faculty presents new and surprising findings about career differences between female and male full-time, tenure-track, and tenured faculty in science, engineering, and mathematics at the nation's top research universities. Much of this congressionally mandated book is based on two unique surveys of faculty and departments at major U.S. research universities in six fields: biology, chemistry, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics, and physics. A departmental survey collected information on departmental policies, recent tenure and promotion cases, and recent hires in almost 500 departments. A faculty survey gathered information from a stratified, random sample of about 1,800 faculty on demographic characteristics, employment experiences, the allocation of institutional resources such as laboratory space, professional activities, and scholarly productivity. This book paints a timely picture of the status of female faculty at top universities, clarifies whether male and female faculty have similar opportunities to advance and succeed in academia, challenges some commonly held views, and poses several questions still in need of answers. This book will be of special interest to university administrators and faculty, graduate students, policy makers, professional and academic societies, federal funding agencies, and others concerned with the vitality of the U.S. research base and economy.

Women, Entrepreneurship and Development in the Middle East
Author: Beverly Dawn Metcalfe
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000515567
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
The Middle East was the region least impacted in the 2008 crisis, has investment systems markedly different to the West, is largely governed by Islamic Shari’a, and has varying forms of governance and institutional organization, which are not understood by many, nor how these systems shape entrepreneurial and industrial development. While the Middle East as a region has seen a small growth in entrepreneurship for women, and business scholarship on the Middle East has grown, there is no text in English that has brought critical insights from the Middle East together in a single volume. In examining women’s entrepreneurship in the Middle East, this book aims to challenge Global North assumptions about the disempowering impacts of Islamic Shari’a and governance. Referring to the constraints of Islam on women’s subjectivity and agency greatly misunderstands religious identity, of both men and women, and the way in which public administration and private sector institutions are organized in very different ways to Western regions. This timely text expands and adds new insights to the theorizations of women’s entrepreneurship in the Middle East, through unravelling spatialized themes, and incorporates contemporary themes including: an Islamic science reading of women, work and venturing; changing families and entrepreneurship development; women managing social crises; Islamization, governance and women; Islamic feminist activisms and entrepreneurship; representations of women’s entrepreneurship on social media; and women’s collectives leading entrepreneurship via Facebook entrepreneurship. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of entrepreneurship, gender, work and organizations.
