Time for another look at women business leaders
Inforum and its Center for Leadership have studied diversity at Michigan’s top public companies since 2003. Last year’s report, with research conducted by the Mike Ilitch School of Business at Wayne State University, showed when it comes to the C-suite, the percentage of positions held by women remained exactly the same between the reports in 2013 and 2015 — 13 percent, or 79 out of 604 positions. Yet clearly women are at the top of two of Michigan’s largest companies — GM and CMS Energy — as well as major divisions of large public companies and some privately held firms.
