Women in Business
2008 UC Davis Study of California Women Business Leaders [UC Davis Graduate School of Management]
Women constitute only a small minority—just over 10%—of directors and top executives at the 400 largest public companies in California. Several studies have shown that having more women in the boardroom and executive suite makes a difference in corporate governance and company performance. UC Davis’s 2008 survey shows the proportion of women on the board of directors and top management teams did increase slightly since 2007.
