I am delighted that the authors have published an update including a number of under-researched countries like Mexico, Lebanon and Argentina.' - Susan Vinnicombe OBE, Cranfield School of Management, UK 'Women in Management Worldwide: Progress and Prospects offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities facing women in the workforce across the globe.
