Topic
In this week’s materials we look at workplace diversity and the global business environment.
Write your paper to answer the following questions, and cite at least 2 outside sources:
1. Why is diversity in the workplace important to employees?
2. How can you, as an employee, help promote diversity?
3. Select a large, major US city. Is the city rich in diversity? How so? Does this richness or
lack thereof, play a part in the city’s successes… failures?
4. Now make the assimilation to the global environment. If you wear anything Nike, shop
at Stop & Shop, listen to anything associated with Sony Music, you’re a global shopper.
Go to Singapore and walk Orchard Road. Stop in Borders Books and have a cup of
Starbucks coffee. You’re a global shopper. Does diversity affect the global markets, or do
the markets affect diversity? How, and why?
