Abstract

Only 1 per cent of top managers are women, despite the widespread introduction of equal opportunities policies. The Institute of Management decided last year to survey its own women members to establish a profile of the successful woman manager and to determine whether there are continuing barriers to the progress of women. The survey established that the remaining barriers are largely attitudinal and relate to the men′s club network. The results were used to draw up a series of recommendations for organizations serious about translating their equal opportunities rhetoric into practice.
