Women's involvement in top management is vital in producing positive impacts on the company's performance. It can be seen in their focus on managerial aspects, social relationships and financial affairs of the company. However, the career progression of the women in attaining top management positions is often seen as slow and unstable. Therefore, this systematic literature reviews the factors influencing women's career to top management. This study is done using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) methodology through identification, screening, and eligibility process. This method allows discovery of new dimension of knowledge by using various group data for further research. This study chooses articles from two primary databases: Scopus and Web of Science (WoS); and one secondary database which is Google Scholar. Based on thematic analysis, eight factors were identified in this study that will support women's journey to the top management: (i) work-life balance; (ii) organizational support; (iii) sponsorship; (iv) mentoring; (v) soft skills; (vi) job experience; (vii) social networks; and (viii) career strategy.

An efficient solution is needed as the issue of women lacking participation in top management has been going on for a long time. Therefore, this study can serve as a reference point for stakeholders who are involved in formulation of policies involving women's developments to enhance the role of women in the country.

Based on data collected from managers of wine tourism businesses in rural areas in Portugal, this study highlights the equal potential of female leadership in wine tourism. Specifically, women’s profiles, management practices and leadership narratives were analyzed and contrasted with corresponding data reported by their male counterparts. Concerning personality traits, no statistical difference between men and women was identified, which was also the case for some management practices, with sustainability concerns being important for both male and female business managers. Differences were found in communication with markets, being dominated by online devices, particularly with social networks in the case of women. As for their leadership position, women further tend to prefer a shared management approach in opposition to a more individualist management style followed by men.
