The presentation provides key extracts and findings of the research conducted with women in engineering to transform the workplace and capitalize on diversity. It presents a synopsis of the book Leadership and Agency by Women Engineers in South Africa.
Encouraging women entrepreneurs for jobs and development Women’s Entrepreneurship Development Today, more and more women entrepreneurs are starting businesses and they now account for a quarter to a third of all businesses in the formal economy worldwide. However, the great majority are very small or micro enterprises with little potential for growth. Otherwise, women entrepreneurs are under-represented in enterprises of all sizes, and the bigger the firm the less likely it is to be headed by a woman. Societal attitudes and social beliefs inhibit some women from even considering starting a business, while systemic barriers mean that many women entrepreneurs stay confined to very small businesses often operating in the informal economy. This not only limits their ability to earn an income for themselves and their families but restricts their full potential to contribute to socio-economic development and job creation. The World Bank’s World Development Report 2011 suggests that productivity could increase by as much as 25% in some countries if discriminatory barriers against women were removed. Removing these barriers, such as discriminatory property and inheritance laws, cultural practices, lack of access to formal financial institutions, and time constraints due to family and household responsibilities, will create greater opportunities for sustainable enterprises run by women. This in turn will contribute to women’s economic empowerment and gender equality as well as helping to generate sustainable growth and jobs. While removing barriers is essential, investment is equally vital. Investing in women is one of the most effective means of increasing equality and promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Investments in women-specific programmes can have significant knock-on effects for development, since women generally spend more of their income on the health, education and well-being of their families and communities than men do. While targeted measures can bridge the gap for women, it is also essential to remove discriminatory aspects of economic and social policies and programmes that may impede women’s full participation in the economy and society.
Women in Management - The Power of Role ModelsStephen Wills
Women make up half of the world’s population, but they are nowhere near making up half of the leadership contributions. When it comes to management, women make up 60% of junior managers, but by the time you get to the top ranks this number barely makes it into the low double digits – and still fewer among our biggest businesses. Why?

Trefferquote im Vertrieb - Ein Kommentar von Prof. Christian Belz und Christi...Christian Peters
Die Trefferquote im Vertrieb ist eine wichtige Kennzahl zur Messung der Vertriebsperformance und des Erfolgs des Unternehmens. Sie bezieht sich allerdings nicht nur auf die Interaktion zwischen dem Verkäufer und dem Kunden. Um die Hitrate effizient einzusteuern, muss das Vertriebsmanagement den gesamten Vertriebsprozess unter die Lupe nehmen.

1. Conference overview:
Although some progress has been made in uplifting women’s lives in Africa, a lot still needs to be
done to overcome cultural economic and health burdens borne by most both young and elderly
Women on the continent.
Promoting gender equality and empowerment of women is of benefit to any economy and the
society at large. However in many African countries women face stumbling blocks at a time when
Africa’s on the upsurge, with economists predicting that over the next decade, the continent’s GDP
is expected to rise by an average of 6% a year.
A result of mainly cultural practices, gender inequalities and gender based discriminations rife in
Africa, hence the need to raise awareness about the disadvantages of these discriminations, not
only to women and girls but to the community at large.
“One of the most important steps countries can take to drive progress is to ensure and improve the
political; economic and social rights and opportunities. Africa have achieved notable growth in
recent years' be sustained that growth must be inclusive and translate into concrete improvements
in the lives of women, men and children.' "Closing the gender gag could help reduce hunger and
improve livelihoods for Africa’s growing population which is expected to quadruple within the next
90 years according to the World Bank.
SA Good News reported that there had been an 11% increase in the number of female
entrepreneurs. According to the 2014 SME survey, 78% of women owned small businesses are
Profitable, compared to 70% for men.
