According to this study by the Business and Professional Women’s Foundation and American Management Association (AMA) there is a link between the presence of women in senior management and a better bottom line. The methodology involved surveying 1,100 managers and executives at AMA companies to get profiles of their senior management and evidence of each company’s performance. Performance was measured by sales, market share, shareholder and book value, profitability and productivity. The results indicated that companies with women on the senior management team demonstrated better corporate performance and stronger growth trends from 1996 to 1997.
