A book edited by
Dr. Hamid H Kazeroony, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, Dr. Hetty van Emmerik, Maastricht University School of Business and Economics, The Netherlands, Dr. Mette Zølner, Copenhagen Business School Denmark, and Dr. Olga Kovbasyuk, Khabarovsk State Academy of Economics and Law, Russia.
INTRODUCTION
This work will build on other colleagues on teaching, learning and examining the social, economic, and political consequences of multiculturalism in global business environment. Various studies have already explored best practices of multiculturalism in education in divided and/or diverse societies (McGlynn, 2009; Hikman, 2007; Martinez, 2005) and others who have addressed many aspects of multiculturalism in teaching, learning, and education as an intellectual activity and relating teaching to multiculturalism (Chennault, 2005; Dietz, 2009; Lawson, Livingston, & Mistrik, 2003; Hutchison, 2006). Additionally, other researchers have discussed (a) utilizing team tools to cement multicultural approach in work place (Mannix, & Neale, 2005); (b) overcoming obstacles such as terrorism in approaching multiculturalism (Mahajan, 2007); (c) managing cultural diversity to be a competitive advantage in technical fields (Richardson, 2005);(d) transforming monolithic societies into multicultural setting to reduce prejudices and open a society to new paradigm of thinking (Lim, 2010); (e) spreading of political ideologies in various countries which led to severe resistance to multiculturalism in the late 20th century.
OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK/Development Workshop Group
This book/DWG constructs a new model for multicultural practices in organizations which considers gender, race, and diversity in organization as a part of individual cultural identity. Within this context, we will advance (1) a new model in analysis of individual cultural orientation and approach to multiculturalism, (2) a fresh approach to theoretical construct for examination of multiculturalism, (3) an examination of educational approaches to prepare new employees and executives in successfully operating in multicultural settings, and (4) new ways that organizations can overcome multicultural challenges to operate their businesses successfully-locally and globally.
