Business World Looking at Gender Differences

Interesting differences with business.  Perhaps this is a continuation of stereotypical factors and socialization.  But, multiple fields are starting to examine or at least considered gendered "data" as a way to better understand important practices and behaviors.  Educators should do the same to better understand what is happening within their classroom, school and district.
