The colloquium aims to pool together the insights from research and praxis
concerning gender dynamics in top management teams (TMTs). Using an
international-comparative perspective, it will examine the role of gender in
different socio-political, cultural and economic contexts in Europe and the
Mediterranean. The specific objectives include:

learn about women's formative experiences in TMTs

illuminate the voices of women in decision-making processes and their impact
on shaping organizational policy and practice

examine TMT members' awareness of gender influence on the structuring
of relationships between women and men in such forums – elucidate the
salience of social categorization and mechanisms of women's potential
exclusion

delineate future challenges for promoting women's meaningful participation in
TMTs and sketch action plans
We invite both research and/or policy, practice oriented extended abstracts or short
papers addressing the topics delineated above, completed work as well as work in
