Personnel: Equal Career Opportunities for Women?

Phil Long

Chapter 2 in Businesswoman, 1987, pp 32-46 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Personnel management is the one management function in which it is assumed that women have the opportunities to excel. Certainly it would appear to be a popular career choice among young female graduates (UGC, 1984) looking for a route into the ‘business world’. Despite being a specialist management function, personnel offers a diversity of activities and cuts across all industries and services in both the private and public sectors. This makes it an attractive choice for young women — and young men — with apparently plenty of scope for career aspirants.
