Women In Information Technology

IT managers must recruit and retain a skilled and diverse workforce in order to meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s increasingly globalized enterprises. The pipeline for women in IT starts small and shrinks as women are disaffected from the profession at all levels of school and career. This chapter surveys the literature concerning the dearth of women and categorizes this literature along dimensions of methodology, variables, and groups studied. Numerous suggestions and guidelines for improving women’s representation have been offered. Recurring themes include lack of self-confidence, lack of pre-college preparation, the need for mentors and role models, the importance of community groups, and the need to value both family and work priorities. Few studies have empirically tested these recommendations, and much work remains to be done in order to understand and address the real issues. Solutions to recruiting and retaining women may serve other under-represented groups as well, making IT classrooms and IT workplaces more congenial and ultimately more productive environments for everyone.

Women In Information Technology

This study first examines the factors that have resulted in the perceived inequality of opportunity for women in the Information Technology disciplines at the collegiate and corporate levels.  The corporate continuum is analyzed to determine what specific strategies, if any, are employed to capitalize on the resources of women in the Information Technology spectrum. Implied barriers to the acceptance, integration, development and advancement of women are brought into focus.  The article transitions to a review of collegiate innovations in the curriculum that attempt to find solutions that integrate and link corporate needs to university programs, both at the undergraduate and doctoral levels. Corporations ranging in size from small entrepreneurial entities to large multi-national firms, with various degrees of dependence on Internet technology, are surveyed in relation to their utilization of the female technology professional.  The qualities, strengths, and holistic skills of the gender in relation to the electronic business spectrum are documented.
