Description
Oxford The Oxford Handbook of Diversity in Organizations 2017 Edition by Regine Bendl, Inge Bleijenbergh, Elina Henttonen
In recent years diversity and its management has become a feature of modern and postmodern organizations. Different practices have spread around the globe focusing on the organizing and management of inclusion and exclusion of different groups such as men and women, heterosexual and homosexuals, persons with different racial and ethnic background, ages, and (dis)abilities. However, although increasingly recognized as important, the discourses of diversity aremultifaceted and not without controversy. Furthermore, diversity management practices have the potential to reproduce both inclusion and exclusion.This book presents the foundations of organizing and managing diversities, offers multidisciplinary, intersectional, and critical analyses on key issues, and opens up fresh perspectives in order to advance the diversity debate. The contributors are a team of leading diversity scholars from all over the world.
