Breaking barriers: dismantling the glass ceiling
Article Abstract:
Discrimination against women still exist in the corporate world despite their qualifications. While women may compose close to half of the entire US workforce, less than 5% are occupying top management positions in US corporations. The inability of women to rise to the highest rung in the corporate ladder is referred to as the glass ceiling. Attitudes of male managers, specifically those who determine promotions, have been cited as critical factors in establishing the glass ceiling. Women who have encountered this discrimination often turn to entrepreneurship as a way out.
