Summer 2009 Key factors in the access of women to managerial posts Macarena López-Fernández , Fernando Martín-Alcázar , Pedro Romero-Fernández
Despite the social and political changes over the past decade that have taken place in the field of work, it is obvious that participation of women in managerial posts is limited.

The paper presents some key factors relevant to this situation and highlights the waste of knowledge that women could offer to organisations and society in general.
