Interesting article ... a few of the highlights:
* A dominant idea in gender-based discussion is that there are masculine
and feminine corporate cultures.
* a positive correlation between the numbers of women in an
organisation's management team and its financial performance.
* says the culture they uncovered was intolerant of difference. "It was
a male dominant culture that left women feeling over-looked, excluded or
intimidated,"
* a third of graduate recruits at BP are women, they tend to move on to
other divisions, like retail, where there are more women and,
perceivably greater opportunities.
