1.6.1  Literature study 
 
A thorough review of the relevant literature concerned with women in management in 
universities and related educational settings was undertaken as a preliminary step in the 
research. Primary and secondary sources were consulted to identify critical issues in past 
research and to establish current thinking on the subject of women in management in 
universities, particularly academic HoDs. Such a review will provide insight into 
different perspectives on the subject and present a framework for further exploration as 
well as a basis for the identification of variables to be included in the study.
