Overview

The statistics tell the story in company after company. Very few members of racial and ethnic minorities have crossed the barrier into top management, despite decades of efforts by any corporations to hire and groom minority managers for success in business. Ensuring Minority Success in Corporate Management provides an overview of the problems experienced by minorities in corporate management and offers possible solutions that will interest sociologists, economists, industrial and organizational psychologists, and students of business and finance.

The contributions explore the complex set of issues, concerns, and problems corporations and minority managers encounter when they strive to achieve the goal of establishing minorities in corporate mangement. Topics covered include

    Employment prospects for minority women Minority and nonminority MBA progress in business Racism and sexism in corporate America Corporate programs for ensuring minority advancement Action steps for corporations and graduate schools of management The benefits of multicultural management

Throughout the book, the perspectives of individual minority managers, as well as corporate and academic perspectives on each phase of the problem-solving process are presented, revealing the striking differences and the reassuring similarities in their views.
