Beyond Sex, Age, and Race: Exploring the Deeper Contents of Diversity

Abstract

This experiential exercise explores diversity as a management challenge that goes beyond gender, race, ethnicity or age differences. The exercise challenges students to examine the multiple contents for the concept of diversity and explore the management implications of that diversity. Additionally, the exercise provides the opportunity for student self-examination. Students are required to see their differences from the perspective of what benefits, and consequences, those differences will present to an employer.
