"Men and Women of the Corporation"

Paper Summary:

The paper examines how Rosabeth Moss Kanter uses many sampling methods in the study that she conducted regarding the differences between men and women in the corporate world and how they react to leadership. The paper looks at what Kanter's work can mean for management in the corporate world where men and women are concerned. The paper explains that men have traditionally taken a stronger approach to leadership, while women have often gone for a softer attitude. The paper notes that the prediction of Kanter that men and women would be equal within the workplace has still not come true.

From the Paper:

"One of the sampling methods that Kanter used in her study was theoretical (or purposive) sampling (Kanter, 1977), which means that Kanter believed that the variables which she chose were very representative of the population that she was studying. She also, to some extent, utilized the idea of 'convenience sampling' because she collected volunteers from a meeting. These 111 women that attended this meeting were asked to fill out the survey that was helpful to the study (Kanter, 1977), and this was largely why Kanter was able to collect this large amount of participants for the study."
