Diversity Issues

Individual
diversity is an important concept in organizational behavior. People can be
described by a number of categories that are both inherent (e.g., age, race,
gender, ethnicity, physical capability) and acquired (e.g., geographic
location, income, marital status, education, seniority, work content/field).
Many other categories exist than are noted here, and some might debate whether
various categories are best understood as inherent or acquired (or a
combination).

For
this assignment, examine some of the diversity present in your current
organization.

-What different types of diversity do you observe?

-Is your organization becoming more diverse or less
diverse?

-What problems does diversity present?

-How does diversity influence the way individuals
behave?

-What benefits or opportunities does diversity
provide?

-After a brief discussion of your observations
regarding diversity in your organization, identify some of the best practices
for managing and leading in the midst of diversity. These best practices might
come from your experience in your organization or from research.

Based on your findings, write a two-page
paper in APA format, include TiTle Page and cite work/direct quotes, PLEASE!
Due Sunday 4/28/13.
