Courses

      • MANA 4326-001 DIVERSITY IN ORGANIZATIONS

        The purpose of this class is to introduce students to theoretical and practical ideas about diversity in organizations, increase understanding of the concept of diversity in organizations, reduce discrimination, and increase fairness and equality to employees, applicants, and customers. It will improve students’ ability to understand and address diversity as a manager and employee. Research relevant to organizations, and many functions within organizations including human resources (recruitment, selection, training and development, performance management and evaluation, safety and health, etc.), marketing, and customer relations will be discussed. We will study diversity issues in many different types of organizations.  We will learn about historical bases of diversity in the United States and in U.S. organizations, about how to identify diversity concerns elsewhere, about inter- and intra-national diversity, about legislation related to diversity, and about trends in diversity from a variety of sources.  This is not a diversity-training course, although many course concepts will be useful for those interested in diversity training.
