Contributed by business and other scholars from Europe, South America, Australia, Nigeria, and the US, the 13 case studies in this book outline types of diversity in organizations around the world and challenges faced by management in establishing effective diversity management approaches. They discuss prejudicial corporate statements directed toward LGBT people and their effect on the Italian multinational Barilla, as well as its responses; the relationship between the participation of women on executive boards of directors and the effect on a firm's financial performance; whether individuals' perception of work group members' openness to diversity depends on their demographic groups; the factors that create unfair discrimination toward immigrant employees; whether diverse executives are placed in positions that best utilize their diverse backgrounds, experiences, and views, looking at the case of Coca-Cola; the equality and diversity of students in higher education; how allyship can be used as a diversity management tool to reduce discrimination in the workplace; the diversity and social inclusion benefits from a nonprofit rural telecom initiative in Mexico; the gaps in effectiveness of Mexico's labor legislation regarding equality in employment; gender diversity in Spanish multinational companies in Latin American countries; inclusive leadership; gender bias in academia; and the role and benefit of dogs in work environments. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) *
