In today's work force - where change is the only constant and a growing number of cultures have become demanding influences - business leaders must be able to harness the resources of such human diversity. Workers from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, along with the fierce competition that businesses now face, make cultural diversity a critical issue and an undeniable resource. By the turn of the century, 70 percent of new entrants to the work force will be women and minorities, and only 30 percent will be white, American-born males. Lee Gardenswartz and Anita Rowe give you a guide to dealing with the unprecedented challenges of being a part of a culturally expanding work force. The authors show you how to improve the level of efficiency in your organization through effective cross-cultural communication.
