"亞洲大學引進女性商業領袖課程"

亞洲大學正跟隨西方大學的腳步，提供女性商業領袖的教育訓練。

根據全球管理諮商公司麥肯錫2012年的報告，亞洲女性只佔了公司董事會席位的6%，在執行委員會則只佔了8%。這和美國及歐洲比起來都極低。

為了要縮小亞洲企業的性別差距，一些亞洲大學，包括國立新加坡大學和香港大學，都提供女性課程，讓她們準備好面對董事會，並提供亞洲女性領袖獨特處境的見解。這些課程一般都包含案例研究、經驗學習及輔導。

「要加入來自不同背景的女性主管團隊，並且和她們交流面對男女主管的不同挑戰相當吸引人。」香港大學提供的課程裡其中一位學生安妮帕金表示。「這個社會將因有一群能夠輕鬆且積極轉換成領袖角色的女性主管而受益。」

(Education) Asian Universities Introduce Courses for Female Business Leaders

Asian universities are following in the footsteps of Western universities to offer educational training to female leaders in business.

According to a 2012 report by global management consulting firm McKinsey, women in Asia only account for 6 percent of seats on corporate boards and 8 percent of those on executive committees. This is exceedingly low compared to the US and Europe.

In a bid to close the gender gap in Asian corporations, a number of Asian universities, including the National University of Singapore and the University of Hong Kong, are now offering courses to women to prepare them for the boardroom and provide insights into the unique context of female leaders in Asia. The programs generally cover case studies, experiential learning and coaching.

It is attractive to join a group of women executives from diverse backgrounds and exchange with them the various challenges facing executives of both genders, said Anne Parkin, one of the students in the program offered by the University of Hong Kong. The community will certainly benefit from having access to a pool of female leaders who can easily move proactively into leadership roles.
