FOOLED BY DIVERSITY? WHEN DIVERSITY INITIATIVES EXACERBATE RATHER THAN MITIGATE INEQUALITY
分析了道德正义、商业案例和权力行动三种DEI逻辑，揭示多样性为何在研究和实践中优先于公平与包容，并说明这些逻辑间的张力如何使多样性倡议反而加剧偏见和不平等。
To advance the discussion on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, we analyze the management literature and examples of advocacy practices inspired by the three DEI logics of moral justice, business case, and power activism. By emerging litigation, self-interest and coercion as the mechanisms driving change within these logics, we show how the concept of diversity is approached differently in the three logics. Based on this discussion we explain why diversity has taken precedence over equity and inclusion in both research and practice. We further show how the tensions between DEI logics inform diversity initiatives and exacerbate rather than mitigate bias and inequality. To rejuvenate scholarly and managerial debates around DEI initiatives and address managerial biases to focus on the wrong things, we discuss what could be learned from the rationales of such initiatives, including how one can be fooled into focusing on diversity at the expense of equity and inclusion.
