Dilemmas Of Diversity: A New Paradigm of Integrating DiversityFootnote¹
1. This article is based on a benchmark survey of global organizations and their approaches to diversity spearheaded by the authors for Trompenaars Hampden-Turner. Forty-six organizations—twenty American, seventeen European, and one Asian—responded. The survey indicates how far these organizations have traveled from their initial realization of diversity to the challenges they still face in their organizations. This article starts with a summary of the findings from the diversity survey, integrates data from open-ended interviews that we conducted and moves toward recommendations on how to integrate diversity. We need to approach diversity as a value using a different paradigm from that normally applied.
