Douglas M. Branson
No Seat at the
Table: How Corporate Governance and Law Keep Women Out of the
Boardroom. Utilizing corporate
governance models applied at Fortune 500 companies, hundreds of Title VII
discrimination cases, and proxy statements, Douglas M. Branson suggests
that women have been ill-advised by experts, who tend to teach females how
to act like their male, executive counterparts. Instead, he argues women
who aspire to the boardroom should focus on the decision-making processes
nominating committees—usually dominated by white men—employ when voting on
membership. Based on empirical evidence, Branson concludes that
women have to follow different paths than men in order to gain CEO status,
and encourages women to make flexible, conscious, and often frequent
shifts in their professional behaviors and work ethics as they climb the
corporate ladder. |

Federal
Preemption of State and Local Law: Legislation, Regulation, and
Litigation. American Bar Association, 2006
KF4600.O74 2006 Preemption is a doctrine of American
constitutional law, under which states and local governments are deprived
of their power to act in a given area. This book covers not only the
basics of preemption but also focuses on such topics as federal mechanisms
for agency preemption, implied forms of preemption, and defensive use of
federal preemption in civil litigation. |
