From the Paper:

"With time, the role of women has gained increasing importance in organizations. Hence people have been looking into sex differences in management and business ethics. Exclusive managerial qualities, skills and a feminine style of management is brought to an organization by a woman. There is a difference in organizational behaviors and interests between a man and a woman and hence their response to a given situation would also be different. A female manager will exhibit different leadership and problem solving qualities than the male counterpart. Some suggest that this is reason good enough to have women as managers. Others say that women are more ethical than men. In a study it was "found that saleswomen were less likely to engage in unethical selling practices than salesmen" (Maureen L. Ambrose and Marshall Schminke, p.454)."
