Abstract

Inspiration of this paper is to review the academic literature on the subject of women from an Indian perspective in any given organization. Another reason is to provide a comprehensive bibliography and suggest a method of categorizing that literature. Several online databases were explored to provide ample listing of doctoral theses and journal articles on women in management. Consecutively, to measure the direct significance to women in management, several hundred articles were ascertained and evaluated. A select list of articles were thus selected each of which were further examined and categorized. All papers were distributed to the main and sub-categories based on the major focus of each paper. Research on women in management falls into three broad categories: work-life balance; gender inequality; and glass ceiling effect. Each of these categories has a few sub-categories each. The most popular research area on the subject of women in management in India is work-life balance.
