Top #MBA Tweets Spotlight: #WomenInBusiness

Earlier this week, American Women’s Business Day took place and so we are shining this Top #MBA Tweets Spotlight on women in business.  The business school community had plenty to talk about, including the value of gender equality, the #MeToo movement and more.

A few programs, including Chicago Booth and INSEAD, discussed gender parity:

“In a world where talent is distributed equally among women and men, an economy that does not fully tap into the leadership skills offered by women is necessarily inefficient." says Professor Marianne Bertrand. #GlassCeiling https://t.co/ZgAq7w9jwM pic.twitter.com/VCkAcnYW4V

UCLA / Anderson and Chicago Booth reflected on the #MeToo movement:

New research by Professor Margaret Shih shows people tend to see harassment claims as a symptom of a corporate culture hostile to women, not only a 'bad apple' problem. How a company responds can make a difference. #MeToo #WomenInBusinesshttps://t.co/TWTTm6SqbT
