Abstract

This chapter introduces the topic of women's representation in management and key concepts related to gender-inequality and women in management. It also provides the background to the subject. The chapter also explains the objectives of the study and research methodology. Before the primary survey, a pilot study was conducted to understand the subjectivity of the topic. Here, valuable insights from the pilot study are provided. This pilot study is based on the 38 case studies of women managers from Indian industries. A few important insights are as follows: Glass Ceiling is visible in the studied organisations, gender representation at various departments is uneven, women’s limited presence in core departments indicates the presence of ‘Glass Walls’ in the organisations, etc.
