This book is written with a number of objectives in mind. Firstly, it is our intention to convey the macro situation and status pertaining to the participation of women in the Sri Lankan labour force, particularly in the private sector. Secondly, to illustrate the specific gendered experiences of women workers and women managers in their respective workplaces. Thirdly, we wish to consider the implications of these particular gender experiences and issues from a perspective of strategic management. And finally, to provide guidelines on how to make work organizations more gender responsive to suit the complex needs of strategic management of the present-day private sector.
