With recent studies showing the rise of women-owned businesses, Dr. Galbraith provides counsel and speaks on how women-designed businesses differ from male-designed organizations in structure, business processes, human resource practices and culture. Her research is well received by both genders in organizations who wish to retain their top producers and attract new talent.

The “A Day In The Life of . . .” sections offer valuable insights for aspiring CEO’s, CFO’s, marketing managers, and business students.
