ABSTRACT
Some of the literature reviewed in Chapters I and II indicated that blacks are experiencing slower rates of upward mobility than their white peers and are subsequently underrepresented at higher levels of the corporate ladder. The review of the literature in Chapter II suggested several critical factors in the mobility process that can influence the upward promotion of all employees in the corporate arena. In addition to those factors, the literature suggested a number of factors that can influence corporate mobility of blacks in particular.
