The Female Advantage

Women`s entrance into the working world has had an impact on institutions themselves. In this best-selling book, expert Helgesen investigates the ways in which women excel in business: by fostering creativity, cooperation, and using intuitive decision-making abilities. Socialization that previously has been deemed a disadvantage for women has turned out to be a boon, according to the author. Her close observations show that organizations run by women look more like webs than hierarchies, fostering interconnectedness, flexibility, and communication. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
