Diversity in Sport Organizations
|
|
Diversity in Sport Organizations will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the ways in which people differ—including race, sex, age, mental and physical ability, weight, religion, sexual orientation, and social class—and how these differences can influence sport organizations. It offers specific strategies for managing diversity in social organizations and work groups, provides an overview of diversity training that can be implemented in the workplace, and outlines legal issues related to diversity. Grounded in research and theory, the book specifically emphasizes the practical applications of research findings and provides relevant sport-related examples. The book’s clear discussions and logical connections among ideas will help students grasp the numerous views of diversity and understand the managerial implications of fostering and sustaining a diverse workforce. |
