In 14 chapters, management, business, and other scholars from Europe, Africa, North America, Australia, and New Zealand examine diversity management within national contexts. They draw on
research, national statistics, and other sources to detail the current state of diversity policies and practices in 14 countries, describing the aim, scope, and coverage of anti-discrimination
legislation, including reporting requirements, positive or affirmative action objectives, quotas, and other legislative requirements; the social actors in anti-discrimination efforts, including
political establishments, trade and labor unions, and multinationals and their influence on diversity policies and practices; the current state of discourse on diversity management and when
anti-discrimination and diversity management first appear in the management literature; and the role of professional associations, including academics, in anti-discrimination and diversity
management efforts. This edition incorporates updates and new perspectives, as well as new chapters on Australia, Finland, Japan, New Zealand, Nigeria, and Russia, and updated and expanded
chapters on Austria, Canada, France, India, Italy, the Netherlands, South Africa, and the UK. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
