“A welcome addition to the emerging dialogue on diversity management is Michàlle Mor Barak’s inclusive workplace model...Managing Diversity
comprehensively addresses the corporate role for inclusiveness as part
of workforce management as well as at community, state and federal, and
international levels.... Mor Barak…has made a substantial contribution
to the human resources and management literature.”
Gary Bess, Profiles in Diversity Journal
“Managing Diversity comprehensively addresses the
importance of inclusiveness as part of workforce management, which is
scalable from small community-based organizations to large
multinational service agencies.…Practical relevance is threaded
throughout the book.…This book is a must read for social work
management professionals and others committed to social justice in the
workplace.”
Administration in Social Work, Vol. 30(4) 2006
“A welcome addition to the literature on building a
globally inclusive workplace…. The book provides the latest information
on changing workplace realities across countries, including
legislation, demography, and developments in social policy.…The book
offers some thoughtful illustrations and practical solutions to
problems involved in developing a globally inclusive workplace….The
book will be helpful for students and scholars in international
business management, international HRM, diversity management and
cross-cultural management. It is a useful resource for conceptualizing
and implementing an inclusive workplace agenda. It reflects a global
perspective and will interest readers across countries. The book has
demonstrated well that when diversity and inclusion are being practiced
as business strategies, they help in providing competitive advantage.”
Debi S. Saini, The Journal of Business Perspective, Vol. 9 No. 1 (January—March, 2005)
“The book is an excellence resource to develop, theorize,
and work out the inclusive workplace in a very comprehensive,
encompassing, and interdisciplinary way. It offers many features
through inserted boxes, tables, graphs, and figures as well as practical
examples and empirical illustrations that make the book very
interesting for both the conceptual, pedagogical research interest and
the practical, educational interest.”
Cordula Barzantny, Academy of Management Learning & Education, June 2007
“Over the last two decades organisations, government and
society have grappled with demands presented by increased diversity in
nations and workplaces alike. ….Mor Borak’s book is one of the first to
explore the synergies between international management and domestic
diversity management.”
Kate Hutchings, Asia Pacific Journal of Human Relations, 2005
“This book has been structured excellently and covers a
vast number of diversity issues in just 16 chapters….This book would be
of value to anyone with research interests in diversity management or
cross-cultural issues….”
Sunil Kumar Singh, IIMB Management Review, June 2006, pp. 214-215
“This is a timely book. The book’s subject, managing
diversity in a global workplace, portends the future for a growing area
of social work policy and practice.…The book has numerous real-life
examples and case vignettes.…The references are a great resource for
practitioners, policymakers, and researchers. Each will find a global
literature treasure trove.… A valuable resource for social work practice
in a global context, the book is also highly recommended as a text in
social work education programs.”
