Mothers on the Fast Track
In the past few decades the number of women entering graduate and professional schools has been going up and up, while the number of women reaching the top rung of the corporate and academic worlds has remained relatively stagnant. Why are so many women falling off the fast track? In this timely book, Mary Ann Mason traces the career paths of the first generation of ambitious women who started careers in academia, law, medicine, business, and the media in large numbers in the 1970s and '80s. Many women who had started families but continued working had ended up veering off the path to upper management at a point she calls "the second glass ceiling." Rather than sticking to their original car...

Happy-performing Managers
This book brings contemporary rigour to solve an age-old conundrum in management - do happy workers perform better? Decades of research - and mixed empirical evidence - have been unable to establish a strong link between affective well-being, intrinsic job satisfaction and managers' performance. This book employs a unique methodology, new empirical evidence and a definitive analysis of previous research to move towards supporting the happy productive worker thesis. The contributors illustrate that establishing how affective well-being and intrinsic job satisfaction predicts performance, it is now possible to demonstrate how deterioration, or an improvement, in affective well-being and intrinsic job satisfaction, impacts managerial performance.
The Corporate Diversity Jigsaw
A nuanced justification of what types of diversity initiatives are most useful for corporations, and how they should be implemented.
Women's Figures
The myth that women make 78 cents on a man’s dollar is a standard refrain in popular media and serves as a rationale for affirmative action for women. Unstated is that for women and men with the same job and work experience, the wage gap practically disappears. In Women’s Figures, Manhattan Senior Fellow Diana Furchtgott-Roth shatters the myth of the wage gap. Women are continuing to gain ground relative to men, and in some cases, they have even reversed the gender gap. Rather than helping women, preferential policies undermine America’s idea of meritocracy, and call into question the value of women’s hard-earned achievements.
Working Mother
The magazine that helps career moms balance their personal and professional lives.
Managing Value-Based Organizations
This is a well researched and thoroughly readable work. As well as giving a comprehensive and clear history of organisations and their evolving forms, it manages to explain the implications of this to practitioners today. In particular the entire discussion of the value based organisation and what this means for the exploitation of knowledge, organisational learning and innovation are relevant to younger, knowledge based organisations. The world of work has changed for ever in the increasingly knowledge based economy and the way we manage and lead has to change with it. This book provides a good insight to those that need to lead the change. Bill Parsons, ARM Holdings plc A fascinating look ...
