Women in project management: entry into a male domain?: a discussion on gender and organizational culture – part 1

Deals with the under‐representation of women in management and project management. Discusses the issue of women as a “special case” critically. Draws on recent research relating to work patterns of men and women. Argues that women′s advancement and participation in project management is a function of the type of organizational culture which has traditionally characterized the industry sectors which employ the skills and techniques of project management. This is the first of two articles which develop this argument.
