A diverse approach to understanding and managing diversity.

Understanding and Managing Diversity uses applications to clarify the complexity of a diverse workforce, and explains how it can be used as an organizational asset. This text also provides students with a wide range of expertise-from the perspective of experienced interdisciplinary instructors (business, psychology, economics, theology, law, politics, history, etc.) to practitioners (diversity trainers, corporate managers, etc.).

This edition has been substantially updated to reflect the changing diversity issues in today's workplace-including 18 new and 15 revised articles/cases/exercises.
