Women into management

Abstract

Although retailing employs a large number of women, few reach the levels of middle management and still fewer reach the heady peaks of the upper echelons. Ten years after the implementation of the Sex Discrimination and Equal Opportunities Acts the Co‐operative College is unique in its appreciation of this wastage of talent, and to redress this imbalance a course has been set up, open to women only, to boost their management skills. Sue Sharples talked to Tina Lee, who set the course in motion.
