Abstract

In this chapter, based on our analysis, several issues of women in management are discussed. The new contribution of this study is also discussed. It is found in our research that even women executives along with the men executives also accepted several gender stereotypes existing in the industries. Historically, it is found that women are outsiders of the labour market under patriarchy and occupational segregation is evident in the industries. Further, it is one of the major barriers to women’s career growth. It is found in our study that, at the top-level management, the intensity of glass ceiling is higher than at other levels of management. Overall, women are facing several barriers in the management. In this chapter, several strategies women adopted for reaching the top management level are discussed, so that organisations can adopt policies that help women to grow in their career. It also suggests the unexplored field of research for future study on this issue.
