Understanding Diversity

Combining varied readings, real-world cases and thought-provoking exercises this text serves to prepare today's students to enter an increasingly broad workplace where diversity must not only be accepted, but also understood. A supplement, or a stand alone companion to any business course, this new text exposes students to broad, macro issues in diversity, followed by more specific individual topics. "Understanding Diversity" introduces students to diversity through a collection of revealing works by instructors and consultants in the field. To help students understand how diversity issues relate to today's business world, the authors feature several real-world cases from companies such as Mobil Oil, General Dynamics, and Continental Airlines. The text also provides several experimental exercises to help students increase their comprehension of differences and make them aware of their own stereotypes.
