Abstract

Copyright r 2019 by Emerald Publishing Limited. Purpose — The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the research presented in this edited volume. Design/Methodology — This report is based on 17 chapters, which vary in terms of research approach, design, and method, yet aims to present different country perspectives on diversity within diversity management. Findings — The chapters present new insights on how the national and macro-social environment impacts the institutional approaches to diversity management across the world. Findings indicate the need for organizations to focus on deep-level diversity, rather than choosing a tick-box policy on surface-level diversity. Empirical studies reveal that every institution can adopt a diversity-friendly approach in a way that best fits their structure, culture and the mentality of their top management team. Originality — The report summarizes and integrates novel insights on country perspectives and approaches on diversity management.
