Women in Accounting and Finance - Bog

Management has been approached in two ways from the standpoint of methodology. Firstly, scholars have defined management as a science since it adopts the recent principles, theories, applications and regulations very often in parallel to cultural, technological, and social developments in the world. On the other hand, management is an art which has been described as "a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts". Stakeholders and related parties in management have to be smart and skilled to follow the changes and developments in management science and art by adopting their manner, mood and behaviour to be called also an "artist". Although gender issues in management science and art have been discussed in a number of studies, there are few studies which discuss subsections of management such as marketing, human resources, accounting, production and supply chain etc.　 This book tackles this and addresses questions such as: "Which areas of management do women prefer to work in? Why do women prefer to work in accounting and finance roles, which require the most technical skill and legal knowledge? Are women good at changing management and harmonizing the regulations in the accounting and finance sectors? Is stress in the finance arena, especially in the securities markets avoidable by female employees? Which conditions make women leave their executive positions or standing on corporate boards? This book analyses the problems, applications, challenges, and power of women in the accounting and finance professions.
