Only one in three management positions in Austria is held by a woman. Why is this? How can the work environment be made more women-friendly, and what can women do to increase their chances of getting a management position?

They not only identify the main reasons why many women fail to advance their careers as they could, but also offer concrete suggestions for action – for female managers themselves and their employers.
