The present research analyses the influence of both characteristics and management\nmethods of female CEOs on organizational practice and innovation. This qualitative and\ncomprehensive study looks at 105 female CEOs of big international companies in 2014. The\nresearch results suggest that the characteristics of female CEOs lead to a specific management\nstyle which in turn influences organizational practice, promoting diversity and innovation in\nthe workplace. The theoretical hypotheses validated by empirical research have enabled the\ndevelopment of a mathematical model which demonstrates how either the personal\ncharacteristics or professional practices of female CEOs could determine innovation.
