Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to compare the management styles and career strategies utilised by women internationally and analyse the lessons to be learned from their relative failure or achievements. Furthermore this paper explores the experiences of today's women managers and compares them with those of their foremothers, especially in Asia and Middle East. The research is a library research and field study. The overview reveals the women's management has been able to make admirable contributions to the organisation of different countries. Researchers are particularly interested in studying the contributions made by women in decision making and running managerial positions in developing countries. In broad terms, effects of gender empowerment in areas such as political, economic, managerial fields constitute the most important issues to study. Women possess considerable potential to contribute to the development of Asia and Middle Eastern countries.
