Changing Views on Diversity Management
梳理了组织应对多样性的四种视角演变：抵制、公平、合法化与学习，指出学习视角虽能深化对差异的理解，但需正视其政治与社会维度才能发挥潜力。
This article sketches out the ways in which responses to diversity have changed over time. Using the schema of Dass and Parker there is a sense of movement across their four perspectives: resistance; discrimination and fairness; access and legitimacy; and learning, in which each perspective attempts to deal with the inadequacies of its predecessor. Although the learning perspective has the potential to develop a `better' understanding of difference, in which the work gets diversified, not just the people, it suffers from political naively. It needs to recognize the political and social dimensions of difference, rather than setting them aside, if it is to realize its potential.
