"Most women who are senior executives today have experienced and seen plenty of gender-based inequity and are sensitized to the micro-level signaling that goes with it", write Cathy Benko and Bill Pelster, authors of 'How Women Decide' in the 2013 September issue of 'Harvard Business Review'. In the article, the authors reveal how men and women are different. From a purchasing perspective, men are typically mission- and task-oriented buyers whereas women are generally discovery-oriented buyers.
