"All I have to do is look at Enron, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac to know that this does happen. And now we've demonstrated the causal link to contingent pay."

Male-owned firms attract more investment dollars, despite proven success of female CEOs
Feb. 2,
2006 --
Investors are reluctant to devote resources to female-run companies, according to research from two professors at the Olin School of Business.
