Managing the Mosiac
- diversity in action
Institute for Personnel and Development,
London, 1994
ISBN: 0852927428 |
Drawing on in-depth research
into almost 500 organisations, this text offers evidence of the
evolution from traditional group-based equal oppor-tunity policies
towards inclu-sive strategies focusing on the individual's own
contribution. It then puts forward a detailed model of diversity
based on flexiblility, an empowering culture, universal benefits
and business-related training de-fin-ed by individual rather than
group needs.

Cross-Cultural Effectiveness
- A Study of Canadian Technical Advisors Overseas.

Does previous overseas
experience guarantee success? Is culture shock something to be
avoided? Can you select for intercultural effectiveness? Can you
train for intercultural skills? A seminal work in the intercultural
field, Cross-Cultural Effectiveness' findings challenge commonly
held beliefs about what it takes to be effective in living and
working in a new culture. The study defines the interpersonal
skills and pre-departure attitudes which are predictive of overseas
success and links these to the practical issues of selection and
training. Cross-Cultural Effectiveness, first published in 1990
and updated and revised for this 2001 edition, is a must read
for anyone involved in the international and intercultural fields.

A Profile of the interculturally
effective person
Centre for Intercultural Learning,
Edmonton, Canada, 2000
ISBN 0-660-61535-5 |
This ground-breaking study
moves beyond such vague characteristics as adaptability, tolerance,
and sensitivity to a detailed description of the actual behaviours
exhibited by the interculturally effective person. A Profile of
the Interculturally Effective Person is a comprehensive intercultural
competency profile that is long overdue and a valuable addition
to the library of HR professionals, trainers, and international
managers.
