This book has highlighted and showcased the significance of cultural diversity for organizations today. Organizations generally are hesitant in adopting and including diversity as they are not aware of its embedded benefits. Organizations instead perceive it as a source of interpersonal conflicts and added cost due to which they tend to avoid adopting cultural diversity. Moreover, certain internal and external factors pose challenges for organizations to effectively adopt cultural diversity. However, it is imperative for organizations to focus on diversity inclusion. This book has facilitated a practical validation regarding the financial and management benefits of cultural diversity and it has shed light on the approaches that can be used for eradicating the factors that can restrict the adoption of cultural diversity. This book has mentioned case studies of Nestle, Oracle and HP for exhibiting scope of cultural diversity. This book is intended for a wider audience including business and management students, management practitioners, HR managers, industry analysts, academic researchers, employees and corporate leaders.
