Introduction.
The article is talking about gender and management research. The article is trying to bring about the rank of gender and implications that gender has in management. There is emphasis laid on doing the gender well. This means that one has to do and behave according to the way the biological sex determines. Individuals can perform exaggerated expressions about their gender. The article reviews the various ways in which gender is exhibited and tries to show whether gender can be undone (Park, Heilman& Hearns 2007 pp 237-247). The article looks at the implications of doing gender well and the corresponding implications of doing gender differently. It gives an insight of the theoretical ranking and presents the authors understanding about doing gender well versus doing gender
