    Dear Colleagues,

    I am preparing to do some research on Women's Leadership, and I'm focusing on Latin America. Can you please let me know if you are aware of studies in that region? I would also appreciate if any of you can point toward organizations with specific policies - or practices - to increase their number of female executives, as well as specific organizations doing research in this topic.

    Thanks for your help!!

    Mireia,

     

    Hello from <st1:place w:st="on">Puerto Rico</st1:place>! The following case addresses the issue of increasing the number of female executives (i.e., gender issues regarding selection practices). To access it, please visit http://carbon.cudenver.edu/~haguinis and click on the link labeled "book chapters, monographs in edited series, and other publications."
