When working in a global setting, actions need to be informed by an acute awareness of diversity. And global diversity is too large (and too important) an issue for organizations to rely on the individual manager. Efforts to heighten awareness of diversity must be centralized and human resources is the key. This important resource written for human resource professionals offers a comprehensive guide on the topic of global diversity. It includes the most current research and a collection of much-needed tools. The contributors include the leading authorities on global diversity and this volume also includes a CD-ROM with electronic tools and templates that can be customized for use in any organization. A professional and impeccably researched guide to global diversity:
"This book provides amazingly rich sources of conceptual models, practical guides and training tools to lead, manage, facilitate, and coach an intellectual diverse workforce for higher creativity and performance in global business. I recommend the book without reservation." |
Hear the buzz about Global Literacies
"the work is filled to the brim with interesting facts and figures, such as the economic mindset of countries, country rankings on global competitiveness, listings of the most domestic and the most global companies, rankings of the most globally successful countries, rankings of who speaks the most languages, etc. These thumbnail documentations of the survey appear throughout the text, in what can be called FYI boxes, and should not be missed. In fact, we recommend that after reading each chapter, you go back and examine each of these information bytes. One important reality that will become clear immediately is that U.S. business leaders and companies rank near the bottom in every indicator of cultural literacy. It is quite a wake-up call."
