It is by far the most comprehensive work published to date on the importance of including people in any educational program dealing with management." - Joe Martin, director of Canadian business history at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto.

"Making Managers in Canada, which tracks the changing demographic composition of business classrooms by gender and race, is a useful overview of Canadian business instruction that should contribute to future studies." -Paul Axelrod, Canadian Historical Review
