From the Paper:

"The lack of advancement of women in management within the corporate world is a continuing problem among companies large and small. Several studies examined support the notion that though women are successful in business, they still face traditional stereotypes and obstacles to advancement at the highest levels of organizations (Eagly & Johannasen-Schmidt, 2001). Though women are entering the business world in greater numbers but barriers still exist to their advancement in the structure of work organizations, the structure of the educational and economic systems, and in the social order. Many studies conducted of discrimination and related topics in the workplace are still very recent, indicating that a problem still exists for women in the workforce."
