AB  - The phenomenon of senior women managers who leave their jobs with
no plans for next steps in their careers is focused on. Their stories
are seen as possible “test cases” of women′s progress into
management. There are some suggestions, particularly from North America,
that such cases are on the increase. Organisational cultures are still
largely dominated by male values and norms of behaviour; their
resilience to change helps explain the scarcity of women at senior
levels. How cultures operate to marginalise and exclude women,
particularly when they near culture‐shaping levels, is explored. Studies
from North America on women leaving senior jobs are reviewed. These
support the suggestion that issues of culture are involved. Finally, a
research project in this area is outlined, and an invitation made for
people to contribute.
