Women, actors of change, entrepreneurs, leaders and decision-makers, provide endless competencies, experiences and points of view which are unique, enriching and helpful to the decision-making processes. This academic work illustrates how a bigger representation of women results in decisions which are more complete and more inclusive as well as more considerate of the diversity of our societies. 

In addition to sharing academic theories and personnel testimonies, the publication explores domains that are less discussed but are still relevant, such as the access to funding for women who are entrepreneurs and the impact of the socioeconomics culture in women’s participation.

In Femmes et gouvernance, the writers not only identify the problems, they also emphasize the progress and suggest courses of actions in order to accelerate the participation of women in decision-making processes. They also aim to contribute to the transformation of our social, economical and political structures, towards a more equitable and inclusive world. 

Femmes et gouvernance gathers contributions from participants of the international conference “Women and Governance”, testimonies of women who have participated in the Executive Doctorate in Business Administration (Business Science Institute – iaelyon) as well as contributions from associations. This book is rich in perspectives since they are diverse and include varied personal experiences.
