The purpose of this literature review is to identify the unique knowledge, skills, and interpersonal needs of women and minorities who hold or aspire to managerial positions in educational research and development. The first tasks toward the goals of providing expanded opportunities for the training of women and minorities and developing effective institutional approaches are seen as: (1) the identification of the unique needs of this population that set them apart from the traditional mainstream routes to managerial positions; and (2) the identification of ways in which those needs can be met through training. The assumption is made that the unique training needs are most likely related to the social and psychological behavior of individuals and groups in business and management. With this assumption in mind, the review is limited to the following topic areas: (1) women and minorities in education R&D management; (2) women in management; (3) minorities in management; and (4) training needs of women and minorities in business and management. The focus within these topic areas is on the unique social, psychological, and political factors aiding or impeding the development of women and minorities. An overview of the literature is followed by an annotated bibliography, a general bibliography, and a bibliography of ERIC listings on women and minorities in education and management. (Author/RLV)
