Organising knowledges, gender divisions and gender policies: the case of large Finnish corporations

Abstract

This paper addresses the implications of organisational gender divisions and gender policies for the processes and practices of organising knowledge. The first part discusses this question theoretically, before examining it through a recent survey of the 100 largest Finnish corporations. The concluding discussion addresses the relation of the theoretical and the empirical material. Organising knowledge cannot be divorced from gender relations and gendered power relations.
