Diversity, Equality, Morality

Chapter 4 in Equality, Diversity and Disadvantage in Employment, 2001, pp 51-64 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In common with many other trends in management thinking, the diversity approach to employment issues has the status of a product — in the form of a technique — that is sold to managers through consultancy work and instructional books. Consequently, there is the problem of arriving at a clear understanding of what is meant by this talk of ‘diversity’ given that we are dealing here with a concept that has been packaged and repackaged in a search for potential buyers, and so not only lacks any definitive formulation but offers formulations that are none too mindful of very real obscurities and difficulties.
