Cross-cultural perspectives on global diversity management: values, meaning and power intersections

Jasmin Mahadevan

Chapter 2 in Research Handbook on Global Diversity Management, 2025, pp 25-39 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Diversity categories are not free of culture, culture is not free of diversity categories, and both involve differences in values, meaning and power. This chapter introduces the cross-cultural management triangle as the underlying process by means of which functionalist, interpretive and critical perspectives on culture may inform global diversity management. Via relevant examples, it thus sketches the contours of a kaleidoscopic and cross-cultural global diversity management practice, and when and how to implement it. Its potential outcome is a more inclusive global diversity management practice that acknowledges value differences, meaning systems and power intersections in and across cultural contexts.
