CASE STUDY: Elisabeth Harstad was employed as a trainee at the Norwegian risk management consultancy DNV when she realized that being a woman was a barrier. Although trainees were supposed to go abroad the company had problems finding a job for Elisabeth in a foreign subsidiary: ‘Iwanted to go to London, Houston, or Singapore. At the end Imanaged to get an international assignment from Oslo to Copenhagen’. This was in the 1980s. However, Harstad did not give up and pursued her career intensively. Today she is the manager of the research & innovation unit at DNV – and since 2006 member of the board of directors of the large Norwegian chemical company Yara. When the new members of the board of directors were elected, for the first time it was an advantage for Elisabeth to be a woman. Since 2008, Norwegian companies are required by law to have 40 percent female members of their board of directors. Thus, Elizabeth is part of an experiment – if women do not make it to the top on their own, politics support this process in Norway
