Hello all,

I'm looking for a new diversity reading for my MBA Organizational Leadership class. In the past, I've assigned Kochan et al (The effects of diversity on business performance), but I'd like to see if there's something more recent. I'm leaning toward Galinsky et al (Maximizing the gains and minimizing the pains of diversity). Any other favorites for MBA students?

Thanks,

Tom

Hello Tom,

One article I would recommend is Dobbin & Kalev (2016). Why diversity programs fail. HBR. The focus is on increasing diversity in organizations but it could be a nice addition.
