| Sumario: | This book proposes an integrated constructionist approach for managing diversity. The existing frameworks for diversity management - collectivistic moral framework and individualist utilitarian framework - do not seem to be well grounded in pragmatic theory. As a result, applications and training have often been lacking in substance and relevance. The integrated constructionist approach integrates these two conflicting attitudes towards differences assuming that differences (or diversity) can be unified to minimise their negative and to maximise their positive potential. The constructionist perspective on communication and language use adds an important conceptual framework to this new approach of diversity management. |
