Organizations today face unprecedented challenges. The marketplace changes at almost every turn: product lines come and go, new competitors arise almost overnight. At the same time, the employee base needed to cope with these strains is becoming increasingly diverse, and old management styles no longer work for everyone. The authors of "The Change Equation" have combined these two seemingly distinct problems into one elegant management solution: organizational plurality. Instead of viewing diversity as a problem to be solved, Norton and Fox urge companies to embrace diversity as an opportunity - one that, properly handled, will give the knowing organization a distinct competitive advantage. "The Change Equation" shows how to tap into the power of the diversity already in your organization, and turn it into a "pluralistic" workplace where change is not something to resist, but something to embrace. This volume is written for a non-psychologist audience working in business. The volume presents why some approaches to diversity often cause more problems than they solve; how diversity can be an organization's best asset; a step-by-step approach to organizational change that takes diversity into account at ever stage in the process; an easy-to-remember way to analyze your company culture that can be used to identify potential barriers to change; and a detailed description of plurality, how to achieve it, and what it can do for your organization.
