In a globalized world with increasing gender diversity and a shortage of a talented working force, business leaders have to manage cultural, ethical and gender difference.

The class will also discuss the competitive advantages and the downsides of diversity for an organization. There will be readings of pivotal articles, individual and group work as well as discussions in class.
