    About this ebook

    There are subtle but potent differences in the ways decisions are made to promote men and women. This publication looks at these differences through a study conducted at one Fortune 500 company. It discusses the several ways that the promotion decision process
    can undermine women’s advancement and outlines strategies for
    making balanced decisions.

      Preface

      This report is an expanded version of the article, Promotion Decisions as a Diversity Practice, published in 1995 as part of a special issue of the Journal of Management Development on gender issues in management development (volume 14, issue 2, pp. 6-23).
