This book is written with a number of objectives in mind. Firstly,
it is our intention to convey the macro situation and status pertaining
to the participation of women in the Sri Lankan labour force,
particularly in the private sector. Secondly, to illustrate the specific
gendered experiences of women workers and women managers in
their respective workplaces. Thirdly, we wish to consider the
implications of these particular gender experiences and issues from
a perspective of strategic management. And finally, to provide
guidelines on how to make work organizations more gender
responsive to suit the complex needs of strategic management of
the present-day private sector.
