Mansdominans i förändring – Om ledningsgrupper och styrelser
SOU (2003:16). Stockholm: Fritzes offentliga publikationer.
In 1993 the Government instructed a Commission to collect and collate information about progress towards an even representation of women and men at managerial level in different companies and industries. The work of the Commission led to the report Men’s perceptions of women and management, Swedish Government Official Reports (SOU) 1994:3. After nine years there was a need to update the picture and investigate current patterns of change and, perhaps, the will for change, as regards women in leading positions in the business sector.
