Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the unique socioeconomic challenges encountered by female leaders in China, India, Japan, Korea, and other Asian countries where traditional cultural expectations and modernized values coexist. It provides insight into gender inequality and underutilization of female talent as well as ways to develop highly



qualified women in organizations. Chapters from expert contributors analyze the similarities and differences between each Asian country, the organizational and institutional challenges for women in the workplace, and how they balance work-family relationships. They also include case studies of outstanding women managers to inspire the next generation of female leaders. It will appeal to researchers and students in human resource development, management, leadership, Asia studies, women's studies, and political science, among others.
