What is glass ceiling???Glass ceiling is an

unacknowledged discriminatory

barrier that prevents minority(women in this case)from rising to

position of power or responsibility

within an organization.


3/17

In this context, what ceiling means isthat there is limit to how far some one

can climb the hierarchy.

Where as Glass emphasizes on thatwhile every thing is very clear, very real

one can see each and every thing very

clearly, that is it is transparent and not

obvious to the observer.


4/17

The term glass ceiling is most often applied in the business

situation in which women feels that men are very much

involved in the usage of power and women find it difficult to

or rather impossible to reach to that level or break the glass

ceiling.

Some words

I hope that we are at a point that every body has figured out thatthere is no glass ceiling

- Carly

I did face a few obstacles in my career but most were because I wasvery young, not so much because of gender bias people with muchmore experience seemed to be available and that was a problem

sometimes but none due to my being a women

- Naina

ICICI has always displayed more of a pro-women bias than an antiwomen one. I have never encountered a glass ceiling here.

All of them said that it took a little extra effort, some

compromises and a little bit of support from the family to

reach the top.

But still the debate is on between the feminists andanalysts..


11/17

Reasons why feminists feel that

glass ceiling exists Male dominated management, which made all the decisions

for the company.

Lack of proper anti discrimination law and government action

on discrimination

Men's attitude towards problems faced by women

Preference of men over women of same educational

qualification and caliber.

Sexual harassment was seen as another major hindrance in

the women's career.


12/17

Asian Perspective

Women are better seen as a homemaker.

So the corporate organization in these countries did not seem

to favor women

It was a matter of a policy for not hiring women.


13/17

Some Asian examples

Videocon international we are from an orthodox family

Tata motors- no women rule

Many other company hire ladies for their work and not for the

corporate work.

On the other hand many company hire only ladies because of

their inter- personel skills


14/17

Still the feeling of GLASS CEILING exists and to avoid that many

ladies/ women have became entrepreneurs

However becoming enterpreneurs was not the solution to the

problem of the glass Glass ceiling.


15/17

My perception

No glass ceiling in the corporate world

Many incidents where women perform better than their

colleagues

All about passion, obsession and determination for the work

Many have done it n many are still doing it.but in many these

thing are missing and they call it

THE GLASS CEILING


16/17

A survey revealed that women graduates from the premier B-

school like the IIMs were not very keen to build a career.

A study on women graduates from IIM A showed that more than

70% of them do not possess a career.

AND STILL THE

GLASS CEILING

EXISTS!!!!
