As a historically patriarchal society, women have had a past of being seen as not as competent as men, at least in fields like science and business. There was this notion that they were more suited to being housewives than anything else. True, in modern times this is not the case. Women are becoming distinguished members of many different communities and are properly acknowledged for their work. This trend for sexual equality is reflected in the business world.

High-positions within a firm are now being held by women increasingly frequently. As noted in the blog post referenced, this means that these important jobs will be available to a larger group of people. This fact could very well change/influence a company’s strategies/value propositions as there will be more people to offer their different points of view and ideas. New, unexplored areas might be found and there will be people with varying skill sets from a greater number of backgrounds. In essence, this trend will result in greater diversity, both physical and mental.
