520 Frequent reference is made to the importance of workplace
diversity but the remarkable and specific benefits it can
bring to organizations are often overlooked. Equally,
reference is rarely made to the problemsof introducing it
into a workplace even though these may prevent it taking
root in an organisation. These are major oversights which
make it difficult for organizations to present thecase for
diversity and take steps to ensure its effective
introduction. Written by experts in the field this book
fills these gaps by showing how national culture,
genderand personality can impact onteamwork, management
style, design and marketing preferences. It recommends a
strategic approach tothe implementation of diversity and
offers solutions that can be delivered to match customer
preferences. As well as discussing these specific benefits,
the book alerts readers to the many obstacles that can
impede its introduction
