About this title

Synopsis

This reader uses an alternative approach to gender at work to provoke new thinking about traditional management topics, such as leadership and negotiation.

• Presents students with an alternative conceptual approach to gender in the workplace.
• Connects gender with other dimensions of difference such as race and class for a deeper understanding of diversity in organizations.
• Illustrates how traditional images of competence and the ideal worker result in narrow ways of thinking about work, limiting both opportunity and organizational effectiveness.
• Provokes new ways of thinking about leadership, human resource management, negotiation, globalization and organizational change.
