Description: Golembiewski identifies the many forces and factors propelling us into the age of diversity in organizations - ethical, political, philosophic, demographic, and so on - and details both the historical and contemporary approaches. Most practice has focused on a "level playing field" or equal opportunity and "tilting the playing field" or equal outcomes. This volume focuses on diversity as a strategic device rather than as a nicety rooted in behavioral and organizational research.

Managing diversity successfully in organizations requires a thorough understanding of management infrastructure that is consistent with diversity - especially structures of work, policies, and procedures that institutionalize and build diversity.
