She is known for her classic 1977 study of tokenism - how being a minority in a group can affect one's performance due to enhanced visibility and performance pressure. Also, her study of men and women of the corporation became a classic in critical management studies and bureaucracy analysis. Kanter was #11 in a 2000s survey of Top 50 Business Intellectuals by citation in several sources.
