This paper highlights issues related to gender diversity like the glass ceiling faced by women in organizations. Gender diversity is vital to ensure success in todays knowledge economy. Contended is that firms that want fresh ideas, strong growth, positive company image, fewer discrimination lawsuits, and enhanced ability to hire qualified workers should be aggressive about gender diversity.

Also they would not get a chance to sit in recruitment boards or mentor other junior females which would multiply the vicious circle, argue the authors.
