Women in Management Worldwide (2004):
Women in management research and consultancy has been undertaken in several countries, over two decades or more. We decided in 2003 that it was time to take stock on initiatives being undertaken in various countries and develop some common metrics to determine the status of women at work and women in management in these countries. We (Davidson and Burke, 2004) asked authors from 21 countries to describe the status of women in management in each of their countries in common areas (for example, women in education, country legislation supporting women’s advancement). These data would permit an examination of changes over time, comparisons across countries and provide baseline information to benchmark changes in the status of women over time. These data might also shed light on the role of country culture on women’s work experiences and career progress.
We solicited chapters from countries in all major regions of the world, both developed and developing. It is interesting to note that some invited contributors declined as their countries did not systematically collect information of the kind we wanted to include. This resulted in our previous publication of the highly successful and award winning book Women in Management Worldwide (Davidson and Burke, 2004).
Women in Management Worldwide (2011)
Six years later in 2009, we decided to update our first book and asked some of the original contributing authors to update their chapters in describing the current status of women at work and in management and reflecting whatever had changed in the intervening six or seven years. In addition, we also invited a number of new cultures and included some new countries. Our objectives for this book were similar to those underlying the 2004 edition:
1. Understand more about the status of women at work and women in management in a number of countries around the world.
2.Continue the process of collecting common information to capture both trends over time and support comparisons across countries
3. Facilitate more cross-cultural research in these areas.
4. Encourage more collaborative research across countries in these areas.
5. Continue to raise the issue of utilizing the best talent available.
