9 | Gender and Organizational Culture: A Literature Review of Past Theories MARILOU IOAKIMIDIS Pages: 481-487 | Details (1625) |
As with many concepts prevalent in business and management literature, career is often written about as if it was gender free. In fact the concept of career was and still is a deeply gendered construction. Many surveys point out that the psychological contract traditionally described was not so mutually beneficial to women. Although the idea of a linear progression is now being jettisoned as the normative path for career, for many women this has never been the case. A few women had careers similar to the traditional male pattern; more had not. Women's careers have been characterized by limited opportunities, low paid part time work, breaks of different lengths for childcare and other domestic responsibilities, and unhelpful assumptions about commitment and capability. This is true both for women in general and women aspiring to be managers. Upward mobility remains, however, one of the conventional measures of organizational and career success, and will be explored in this paper in accordance with past but classical theories of organizational culture. Key Words: Literature Review, Gender, Organization Culture, Past Theories.

10 | Discrepancy of Cognitive Ability in Management Decision HONG-WEN LIN, YA-CING JHAN, YU-LING LIN and SHU-MEI WANG Pages: 488-494 | Details (787) |
In this study, Creative Problem Solving (CPS) has been chosen as the theoretical basis to explore the discrepancies between learners’ cognitive ability for management decision-making process as individuals and in groups. The study attempts to shed light on the differences between the problem-solving processes for individual learners and learner groups through means of Protocol Analysis and Think Aloud Protocols. The research discovered that the extent of information content familiarity imposes varying degrees of impact on the decision-making process on individuals and in groups. When learners are unfamiliar with information contents, they are caught in a loop in the midst of a problem-solving process. In contrast, learners with a relatively higher degree of familiarity with information content would be able to solve a given problem in smooth-running procedures. These discoveries reveal the discrepancies between different learners in the problem-solving process, and hopefully may serve as useful reference for educators looking forward to formulate effective teaching guidelines and strategies for classroom instruction. Key Words: Creative Problem Solving, Protocol Analysis, Management Decision, Cognitive Ability, Business Operation Simulation System.
