In an article that has attracted plenty of flack from readers, Hanna
Rosin describes
<http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/07/the-end-of-men/8135>
the end of men. More women go to college, get degrees and jobs than
men, and their jobs are more crisis-resistant. And their qualities are
increasingly valued by employers: "A 2008 study attempted to quantify
the effect of this more-feminine management style. Researchers at
Columbia Business School and the University of Maryland analyzed data
on the top 1,500 U.S. companies from 1992 to 2006 to determine the
relationship between firm performance and female participation in
senior management. Firms that had women in top positions performed
better, and this was especially true if the firm pursued what the
researchers called an 'innovation intensive strategy,' in which, they
argued, 'creativity and collaboration may be especially important' -
an apt description of the future economy. It could be that women boost
corporate performance, or it could be that better-performing firms
have the luxury of recruiting and keeping high-potential women. But
the association is clear: innovative, successful firms are the ones
that promote women. The same Columbia-Maryland study ranked America's
industries by the proportion of firms that employed female executives,
and the bottom of the list reads like the ghosts of the economy past:
shipbuilding, real estate, coal, steelworks, machinery."
