In the article published in Easy Shiksha, Dr Nada Sayarh, Associate Professor – Marketing & Deputy Director - Ethics, Sustainability & Social Responsibility (ESR) explores the challenges that hinder women from attaining senior leadership positions in the corporate world and how a Global MBA can serve as a catalyst for overcoming these barriers.

She highlights the key obstacles, including unfair expectations, limited access to professional networks and mentors, work-life balance difficulties, and restricted career advancement opportunities due to biases and societal norms.
