Women in Organizational Management (Paperback)

A lot of practices in most organisations and traditional organizational culture, needs to be deconstructed and reversed in order to achieve gender equality.The author further proposes for an integrated organizational management approach which should integrate all systems and processes into one complete framework, enabling people to work as a single unit, unified by organizational goals, ethos, shared vision and common values.This book will be of interest to policy makers, students, academics, gender experts, and all those interested in gender issues.
