Abstract
Women are under‐represented in senior positions within organisations, but more research is needed before a definitive statement can be made about the promotion process of senior executives. Data from questionnaires distributed among the senior executives of 379 Chicago‐based firms and 225 top‐level executives of British firms (all firms employing more than 500 people) asking respondents to indicate the importance of performance, membership, education, traits, and personal data criteria in individual promotion for men and women, ranked performance highest, irrespective of sex. Education was rated higher for women in the US, and higher for men in the UK. More attention needs to be given to networking and mentor‐protege relationships' contribution to the senior executive selection process.

Abstract
The advantages of Goal Programming (GP) over linear programming (LP) are discussed in the context of the healthcare industry. Decision makers must give considerable attention to the formulation of a GP model. However, long‐ and short‐term solutions must not be confused. Solutions also require implementations, which may be impractical or difficult. The full utilisation of facilities is recommended in an attempt to reduce unit costs and increase output.
