商品簡介
The authors offer an analysis of whether Norway's recent gender quota for public liability companies has had positive or negative effects on economic performance, and why the quota system has been adopted in some countries and rejected in others. Also, the effectiveness of gender quota reform is determined with comparisons with other political mandates affecting business life in Scandinavia. The book is divided into three parts: gender and economic power, firms and families, and gender quotas in boards of directors. Editors Engelstad (U. of Oslo, Norway), Teigen (Institute for Social Research, Norway), and 12 co-authors contributed to the book. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
