The men and women of the corporation . Rosabeth Kanter was, until a year or two ago, Editor of the Harvard Business Review. So male nurses may be as disadvantaged as women managers. If you are a token member then you get stereotyped as having all the characteristics of that group. You are treated as representing the group not as an individual with a unique bundle of skills, abilities, and personality characteristics.
More recent research suggest that tokenism and gender or race play their part.
The soul of a new machine . This book describes the development of a new compter at the Data General Company. They were trying to build a 'Vax' killer. They built a good machine but didn't have the marketing clout. Nevertheless it is a wonderful description of motivation and commitment to a team goal.
