Women in Management in Central and Eastern European Countries : Journal of East European Management Studies (JEEMS) - Special Issue

It seems that Central and Eastern European countries are doing quite well with regard to gender equality in management, a fact that has often been attributed to the socialist heritage of these countries. In the meantime, it has become well known that this does not hold true, as gender equality and inequality not only coexisted in the socialist era, but have also continued to do so since. Unfortunately, research on women in management in post-socialist Central and Eastern European countries remains rare. This volume presents seven studies and a research report on women in management in CEE countries. The research included is based on quantitative as well as qualitative empirical material and provides country-based case studies as well as comparisons between countries. The book includes contributions on topics such as

The existence of gender stereotypes

The effects of women on corporate boards

Reasons for and consequences of female entrepreneurship

Time practices of women in leading positions

Women in local politics and government.With contributions byAnastassiya Lipovka, Zoltan Buzady; Danel Havran; Henriett Primecz, Zsolt Lakatos; Monika Wieczorek-Kosmala; Ingrida Frankien ; Virginija Sidlauskien ; Vita Juknevicien ; Sigitas Balciunas, Oksana Mejer ; Mare Ainsaar; Kadri Soo, Rein Toomla; Oana Mara Stan; Lela Griessbach, Kerstin Ettl; Dinara Tokbaeva
