MGMT 5308 - Women in Management

The course explores the position and role of women in the management of U.S. organizations. It focuses at the societal level on the representation of women in management and at the organizational level on gendered behavior. Topics are reviewed and discussed as enabling or hindering (1) women in performing to their capacity and (2) organizations in benefiting from women’s contribution. The course draws on literature that describes and conceptualizes occupational segregation and its causes, as well as different management styles and their relevance to management in general and to women in management in particular. The course uses a woman-focused lens to reflect on the practice of management, societal expectations, and organizational policies and behaviors.
