The goal of this survey is to find out, whether an increasing share of women in the management of Slovakian companies impacts their financial performance. To process the primary data, multiple regression and neural networks will be used. We will check if there is any statistically significant correlation between the percentage of women in leading positions and corporate financial performance of Slovakian companies. In addition to the business benefit, we shall focus on the whole area of gender diversity in the private sector and the prognosis of equal percentage of women and men in top management positions.
