• Chapter 15 Organizational Culture

Prepare an essay that describes why an organization should implement a diversity program. For the purposes of this essay, assume that the diversity program will have the objective of developing a more diverse workforce within the organization. Assume that the readers of your essay will be the board of directors of the organization who want to see benefits for both shareholders and stakeholders of the organization. Your essay should specifically address benefits for the stockholders, which would be those elements that affect the profits, future profits, or stock price of the firm and benefits for the group of stakeholders, which includes the employees, community, government, customers, environment or any other group that has a relationship with the firm.

Prepare a two page (double-spaced) persuasive essay that makes a logical and well-reasoned argument for a diversity program. Use and cite at least two sources which may be material in our textbook or additional sources from the internet, the LIRN, or other sources to which you have access.

Cite references to material that you use in preparing the essay using the American Psychological Association (APA) style.
