Diversity Management Triple Loop Learning

The approach known as Diversity Management, is about managing theincreasing diversity of issues that confront us. It is a responseto the ever growing number of approaches ? more models, moremethodologies and more theories ? developed to tackle those issues.Diversity Management addresses this new issue to be confronted ?how to choose between the models, methodologies and theories. Thebook, Diversity Management: Triple Loop Learning, will provide astrong intellectual contribution to the now widely debated issue ofmanaging diversity. It carefully blends theory and practice inorder to provide substance to the debate on diversity management inthe social and systems sciences. The focus on triple loop learningincreases the fullness of learning about the diversity of issuesand dilemmas faced. It brings together three main learning centresin one overall awareness so that the process is more reflexive andthose involved can operate more intelligently and responsibly.Diversity Management: Triple Loop Learning is thoroughlyillustrated with case studies and shows theoreticians andinterventionists how they can operate with a consciousness that ismore than the sum of its parts.
