- Title
Women Business School Academicians: Disparities and Progress.
- Authors
Robertson, Diana
- Abstract
The recency of the phenomenon of increased numbers of women business school professors led to an investigation of the characteristics of 1,492 female faculty members. The data suggest that women with very recent degrees are better prepared than their forerunners: They are more likely than those who received earlier degrees to hold a doctorate, to have published, to have held a prior management position, and to teach in a larger and better school. A comparison of male and female subsamples reveals that the women are less likely than men to hold a doctorate; this single factor greatly accounts for women's inequity in rank and administrative position. Implications of the findings on students and on curriculum are elaborated.
