THE WOMEN IN MANAGEMENT RESEARCH-PROGRAM AT THE NATIONAL-CENTER-FOR-MANAGEMENT-RESEARCH-AND-DEVELOPMENT

NCMRD initiated the Women in Management Research Program in January 1988. One of the objectives of the program is to help managers and policy makers deal with issues arising from women's increased participation in managerial and professional jobs backing research to help arrive at solutions to the problems being encountered both by institutions and by women themselves. Significant research funds have been raised from the private sector and ten projects have been funded to date. This article describes the early development of the Program and its research mandate. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
