The bar chart compares three enterprises in terms of participation of men in senior development position from 1980 to 2010. The units are measured in percentages. Generally, the number of men in senior position increased throughout the given period, with some exceptions.

This number doubled to 26% and continued to increase by 7% to 33% in 2000.

The figure of Apple started to recover in 1990, and five years afterwards, reached 21%. Regardless of a decline in 2000, it continued to go up in 2010 at 23%.
