Biography
Fiona M. Wilson, Professor of Organizational Behaviour, Department of Business and Management, University of Glasgow, Scotland
'This book should be essential reading for both men and women interested in taking a fresh approach when re-examining gender and organisational behaviour. An excellent, comprehensive text which successfully challenges the male-as-norm model of management.' Professor Marilyn J. Davidson, Manchester School of Management, UMIST, UK 'The author pulls no punches in this critique of both organisational practice and the academic discipline of Organisational Behaviour. ... This is a very comprehensive treatment of the subject and represents an important contribution to the process of redressing the limited perspective of OB literature on which the author writes so passionately.' Economic Outlook and Business Review 'Wilson's text is both thought-provoking and scholarly. I hope it finds a place alongside mainstream texts in organizational behaviour courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It not only provides a much-needed critical perspective on organizational theory, it also helps men and women to understand the complexities of gender socialization and gender relations int he workplace.' Women in Management Review
