MGT 404 Diversity in the Workplace

Organizational leaders are now facing the challenge of how to effectively manage a workforce that is increasingly diverse in regard to race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual preference, and physical ability. To succeed long term, a company must help its employees welcome and value each other's diverse backgrounds so that in working together, the company can gain a competitive advantage over those companies who are unable to facilitate this process for their employees. Individuals need to be aware of these issues so they not only can succeed within an organization, but also can successfully deal with external stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, etc. 5 quarter hours in the concentration in International Management and 4 quarter hours in the cohort model BA in Business Administration program.
