Business Consulting Today's business world is faced with many surprising new challenges.

One of the least expected is the problem of awkward situations and lawsuits for 'sexual harassment.' This issue, currently in the news related to legal settlements made by Toshiba, Texaco, and Merrill-Lynch -- as well as various political scandals -- will in the future become more and more pronounced, as more women enter the workforce at higher levels and especially, become involved in executive management. How should the employees and executives in a firm comport themselves in new situations, while still being fully human? Is it necessary for executives to turn themselves into automatons to meet today's criteria? Surely, there are better ways to handle the new world now in the making. This consultancy from Hite Research is specifically designed, based on twenty years' experience as a  prestigious, unique and internationally respected research organization, to help businesses of all sizes come to terms with how the new interactions between men and women at work function today -- really, not in cyberspace.

Articles on Business by Dr. Shere Hite

FINANCIAL TIMES: Turmoil in the kingdom of fathers and sons: Shere Hite argues that male conformity at work is as much a problem for men as it is for women. Financial Times, Feb 19, 2000, 

FINANCIAL TIMES: Daddies and daughters in the office: Shere Hite's latest research on sex and business has strong parallels with her earlier work on families.
Financial Times ; 27-Nov-1999 

The ambiguous relationships between fathers and daughters is casting a shadow that touches the relationships between some men and women inside corporations. One of the main problems men can face in forming good working relationships with women comes from a problem women often grow up with: of having learned too much obedience to their father - and, by example, to men in power. more

FINANCIAL TIMES: Business uses both sides of its brain: Shere Hite has written about, and led, the sexual revolution for 30 years. Here she talks to leading businessmen about its progress from the bedroom to the boardroom:
Financial Times ; 06-Feb-1999 

Thirty years into the sexual revolution, sexual politics are bigger news than ever. President Clinton's involvement with a White House intern is testing the boundaries of the US constitution and has threatened to catapult him out of office; the public fascination with Princess Diana has led the British royal family to review the way it does business. Viagra, sexual harassment suits, abortion, Aids research, rising divorce statistics all testify to the fast pace of social change. more

Book Information (Synopsis)

Men and women today are already in a new time and space -- but sometimes habitual attitudes can be hard to change, they cling stubbornly like old coffee stains. Here are concrete ways for people to move quickly beyond clichés and see each other in a new way, both as individuals and professionals.  Throw out the rulebook.'

Wall Street Journal Europe
'.provocative, on-the-record answers to questions about gender and workplace relations' 

After15 years researching and interviewing businessmen and women around the globe and CEOs from the Fortune 500 companies, Shere Hite, world renowned gender specialist, now exposes the areas where misunderstanding and problems arise and delivers decisive solutions for overcoming the gender barriers. The premise is that of working together, instead of burying our differences and being paranoid about each other, men and women should embrace their different strengths. They both bring something valuable to their work. The different points of view that women and men can bring to work adds a creative new force and could  be one of the most energising and productive forces in action today. Individuals must still work on their mental software to programme this fresh, new, positive approach.

Sex and Business challenges both men and women to look long and hard at their own actions and beliefs, as well as those of the people they work with, and asks them to develop a new and more effective way of working and communicating with each other in the workplace. From love in the workplace to sexual harassment, from men managing women to women managing men and women managing women, this book covers every aspect and hidden corner of corporate relationships. Only through an understanding of the drives, motivations and attitudes of ourselves and our colleagues can we hope to bulldoze through the walls we have built up and begin a new era of mutual understanding, respect and success.

Gay Times
'Hite has done more than Kinsey to influence how we view sex, relationships and the family in the twentieth century...this long overdue study (of business) marks a significant contribution to equality at work, and provides a blueprint that should be read not only by Blair's Babes but by the Prime Minister himself, not to mention his male cronies.'

Independent on Sunday
'While those in their twenties and thirties believe they already relate to the opposite sex in a very different way from their parents' generation, many educated young women are shocked to experience sexism and sexual bullying for the first time when they switch from university to office... part academic study, part interactive survey, part forum for open interviews with employees and CEOs, this is far reaching... looks beyond the prejudices at work to investigate how men and women think...interested in human advancement.'
