About the Book

Gender is an essential construct that shapes how men and women conduct themselves in society, helping them understand their roles in the family and the broader social structure. This dynamic is also prevalent in the business world and management. Despite extensive research on gender's impact on business and management, the rapidly changing business environment has created a gap in understanding the evolving role of gender in these fields.

This book presents multiple perspectives, offering a comprehensive collection of best practices, success stories, and research papers from across the world. The contributors tackle a wide range of subjects related to gender and management, covering topics such as educational management, enterprise management, healthcare, employment, and labor issues in both the manufacturing and service sectors. It serves as a compendium of articles discussing gender and management issues, providing valuable insights for professionals, scholars, and researchers. This volume is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in updating their knowledge about gender and management from a multidimensional perspective.
