A Strategic Management Issue.
This is a timely book that shows that organisations unable to capitalise effectively on gender diversity will be ill-equipped to deal with the accelerating pace of economic and organisational change. Smith and Hutchinson have included several case studies of how leading Australian organisations have positively addressed gender issues to boost productivity and profitability, and to redress discrimination and retain employees.
The book is based on the authors' extensive research across a broad range of industries and their work commissioned by the Karpin task force. It is an essential book for anyone who wants to evaluate the values and assumptions of their organisational culture, and capitalise on the talents of diversity.
