Introduces the concept of strategic decision making as a key managementrole and the lack of women's involvement in this role as a means forunderstanding the organizational barriers faced by women in moderntimes. Studies strongly suggest that the shortage of women managers instrategic decision-making positions is due to the barriers they facewithin organizations. Furthermore, that these barriers emerge as a primefactor for limiting their effectiveness. Despite the increasing numberof women working in organizations, they still remain a minority or mere"tokens" when it comes to senior or strategic decision-making positions inmost organizations. Describes some of these barriers and suggests theway forward.
