À propos de cet audio
In this concise book, feminist thought is made accessible and relevant to both students and management practitioners. An empowering introduction to an often-overlooked key idea, this book illuminates how feminist thinking can liberate our understanding of work and management.
Feminism: A Key Idea for Business and Society boldly challenges assumptions about both feminism and business. It offers a primer on feminism for business and explains feminist interventions including adding women’s voices, pushing for equality, and practicing feminist values to make businesses more successful and more just. It analyzes the obstacles organizations and individuals face in their efforts to address gender inequality, and demonstrates how feminist interventions have changed the terms of business conversations around topics such as defining work, centering the economy around care, how jobs work and wages are gendered, violence in the workplace, horizontal and peer-to-peer organizational structures that don’t depend on dominance, enlightened leadership models, and power.
As this book demonstrates, feminism has already had a profound impact on business, with many of its key tenets incorporated into business thinking. As one of the first books to offer feminist insights and critiques of business to the practicing manager, business student, and non-academic, this book offers a fresh, positive vision that is remarkably relevant.

"Rigorous, articulate and passionately argued, Celia Harquail’s Feminism: A Key Idea for Business and Society is a must read primer on the values and goals of feminism and the gulf that still lies between them and the objectives of business-as-usual. This is not a work of mere idealism: Harquail challenges the status quo with an erudite summary of our present "profit for some" versus "flourishing for all" approach to professional work and its role in our lives. She offers cogent ideas for overthrowing, rather than tinkering with, the systemic oppressions of sexism, racism and other entrenched injustices in business and society, and how feminism envisions and encompasses both meaningful, fairly compensated work and a holistic human life for all." — Whitney Johnson, disruption and innovation expert, speaker, podcaster, and best-selling author of Build an A-Team and Disrupt Yourself
"Finally, an engaging and opinionated book that is jam-packed with insights, explanations and examples of why feminism is needed in the workplace. A must read for corporate leaders and feminists, Feminism: A Key Idea for Business and Society, takes us a leap closer to understanding how businesses can better balance profit-seeking behavior with equality and justice for all." — Dr. Barbara Orser, Professor of Management, University of Ottowa, Canada and co-author of Feminine Capital: Unlocking the Power of Women Entrepreneurs
"Presenting leaders with a compelling definition of feminism that is a call to action, this book highlights the relevance of feminism to business. In highlighting the oppression, privilege, and domination that characterize business culture, Celia V. Harquail challenges the reader to reflect, question, critique, and even disagree with her. The book offers an invitation that business leaders can no longer afford to ignore – it is time to change the rules of the game. Feminism is a catalyst for the ways that business can be a force for positive social and economic transformation." -- Stacy Blake-Beard, Professor of Management, Simmons University, USA and Indian School of Business, India.
