In this unit, we have focused on the thoughts and behaviors of diversity and inclusion in the U.S. and around the world. For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to examine the trends of thoughts and behaviors of diversity and inclusion for a specific country. You will choose one country or region of the world and determine the current state of diversity in its companies and also focus on the recent trends in the thoughts and beliefs regarding diversity and inclusion among the citizens of the country or region. Specifically, your research and analysis should include the following content areas:
- Opportunities from Diversity: How diverse is the country/region? What are facts and trends for the country/region?
- Challenges of Diversity: How has the country/region become more diverse? What resistance was there for diversity and inclusion?
- Best Practices: What paths have the country/region taken to become diverse? If none, why are they resisting diversity and inclusion? How do company leaders in your chosen country/region view diversity and inclusion?
- Regional Characteristics: What specific diversity and inclusion characteristics are found in your region/country?
- Conclusion: What can the rest of the world learn from your country/region regarding diversity and inclusion (positive and negative)?
Using the unit resources and also conducting your own research using the CSU Online Library on the topic, you will complete a five-page research activity on your chosen country/region. Your submission should also include at least two scholarly sources (include at least one new scholarly source that is not found in this unit). The sources that you use should be current (5 years or newer) to ensure that the updated information on the country’s diversity and inclusion are discussed.
Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.
