Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the research presented in this edited volume. Design/Methodology: This report is based on 13 papers, which vary in terms of research approach, design and method, yet aims to present different types of diversity in organizations. Findings: The papers shed light on existing practices promulgating the value of diversity, whilst opening the road toward diverse definitions of diversity. Contributors provide a critical reflection of the current discourse on different types of diversity around the world. Findings indicate that multinational organizations are regularly confronted with the absence of the necessary sensitivity on behalf of their top management team and spokespeople. Empirical studies advocate strategies that could potential facilitate both organizations and immigrants to overcome a plethora of challenges. Originality: The report summarizes and integrates novel insights on how organizations approach, view and manage different types of diversity.
