TRAINING FOR WOMEN IN MANAGEMENT: THE AUSTRALIAN CONTEXT

Abstract

The representation of women in management hierarchies in Australia, as throughout the world, is increasing. However, women are still not reaching top management levels and face a variety of pressures, both internal and external, to the organization in which they work. For women to operate at their optimum level of management skill it is important that they be encouraged to develop their management style within supportive learning cultures. Reports on the research leading up to and the establishment of a Women in Management Programme at the Queensland University of Technology. The rationale for such programmes is that the maximization of all our human resources is essential, if we are to manage effectively in the changing world of the twentieth century.
