The Diversity Imperative

August 1, 2018 | MIT Sloan Management Review | Operations

A more inclusive workplace not only boosts morale but often increases performance, too. This collection of articles from MIT Sloan Management Review examines ways that organizations are adapting to workforces that are older, more demographically and geographically diverse, and more varied in their ability to work collectively.

Articles included with this collection:

The Corporate Implications of Longer Lives by Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott

How Global Is Your C-Suite? by Pankaj Ghemawat and Herman Vantrappen

The Need for Culture Neutrality by Amit S. Mukherjee

Getting the Short End of the Stick: Racial Bias in Salary Negotiations by Morela Hernandez and Derek R. Avery

In Boardrooms, the Same Is a Shame by Paul Michelman

Developing Tomorrow’s Global Leaders by Robert J. Thomas, Joshua Bellin, Claudy Jules and Nandani Lynton
