Kind of.

Diverse teams tend to produce better outcomes than homogenous teams, and this is backed up by empirical data, but it could well be that diversity has other costs to the company.

Furthermore, companies require you to demonstrate competence before hiring you. Only the diverse members who can do their job get into these teams. If you just threw anyone in there for the sake of diversity then the outcome wouldn't be as good.

Basically

smart blacks + smart whites > smart whites only
blacks + whites < whites only

http://web.mit.edu/cortiz/www/Diversity/Jayne%20and%20Dipboye%202004.pdf

Konrad (2003) has stated three primary
arguments in the business case for diversity.
First, competition for the best talent
requires organizations to reach out and embrace
an increasingly diverse labor pool. Second,
a global economy requires that organizations
have a diverse workforce so that they
can effectively deal with an increasingly diverse
customer base. Thus, a diverse workforce
can lead to an increased market share,
whereas lack of diversity in the workforce can
lead to a shrinking market share. A third argument
is that demographic diversity unleashes
creativity, innovation, and improved group
problem solving, which in turn enhances the
competitiveness of the organization.
...
Ask about empirical support for the
claim that diversity has a positive impact on
business performance, however, and the answer
is a more tentative “maybe.” Research
examining the impact of demographic heterogeneity
on workgroup performance as
well as overall organizational performance
has produced mixed results at best.
...
The purpose of this article is to review the empirical
findings on the relationship between diversity
and organizational performance and
highlight practical techniques for applying
these findings in organizations. In addition,
this article will discuss techniques for establishing
metrics to evaluate the effectiveness
of diversity initiatives.

CONCLUSION
It seems clear that increasing the diversity
of the workforce often involves problems
such as dissatisfaction and conflict.
Moreover, diversity alone does not guarantee
immediate, tangible improvements in organizational,
group, or individual performance.
Nevertheless, achieving a diverse workforce
and effectively managing this workforce can
yield huge benefits.

No, it's stating that you need to implement your diversity program in a way that works and in a situation where it's actually going to help to get benefits.

Again, if you'd read the article you'd understand it better.

The author lays out that diversity has no benefit on an organisation that's downsizing, for example. Implementing a diversity program in a downsizing organisation will not yield benefits. This is not effective management of a diverse workforce.

Effectively managing a non-diverse workforce = X
Effectively managing a diverse workforce = X + Y

That's part of it. The benefits of diversity are much stronger in fields requiring flexibility and innovation, like marketing.

>What kind of empirical evidence for that would there even be?
Team A at an organisation is homogenous and produces 5 actionable ideas per cycle. Team B at an organisation is diverse and produces 7. These teams exist in very similar conditions in the same corporate culture so there are very few differences between their circumstances. Take this and imagine you have 6,000 examples of Team A and Team B spread out over 20 years of research from many different organisations and you start to build a trend.

The point is that if you effectively manage it you see benefits and if you don't you see problems. Effectively managed diversity has no problems.

That depends on so much that it's impossible to answer except that a lot of business are investing in diversity and they are profit-motivated, so evidently the people in the best position to make that determination have made it.

Well as we're learning in this thread, diversity generally ISN'T a strength unless it's properly controlled. But in a properly educated and controlled environment, presumably diversity can indeed be a strength in cases where creativity is important. At least in a market setting.
>>
>>70616141
> Effectively managed diversity has no problems.

Management cost money, a lot of money. The problem being, you have a lot more chances to find a hard working white than a hard working minority if you to put a manager behind every minority it's not worth it.

Exception in sales, bringing a token minority when you try to make business with said minority can be an advantage but you need to be really careful because it can backfire easily. Bringing a nice looking women is easier and it works every time.

Sounds like something you should take up with your lecturer and tutor at the local university, anon.

Your questions do have answers, but they require entire courses to answer completely. I can give you a tl;dr version, but then you will just complain I haven't answered this part of it, or you will have another question, forever and ever. If it interests you I suggest you read some articles on the topic, or maybe even study it at a tertiary institution like I did. That's the only way you'll get satisfaction.

>>70616754
>a lot of business are investing in diversity and they are profit-motivated, so evidently the people in the best position to make that determination have made it.

The people who actually have money at stake are deciding that it is worth it, anon. There is a place for diversity in the workplace. Not every workplace, and not all the time, but there are upsides to it occasionally.
>>
>>70616527
But controlled environments cost money, so maybe even in a market setting they outweigh the benefits, simply because of cost.
Also group cohesion is less in a diverse environment, and one thing i've learned group cohesion is the most important thing.

Diversity as policy is different from diversity as a business decision. Diversity as policy is based mostly on ethics, and the facts don't matter because people will say "the costs are worth it because we are doing the right thing." Diversity as a business decision is "does this make money? Probably? Okay, then do it."

I'm not in favour of diversity as policy because ethics are a meme and fuck morality. I am in favour of diversity as a business decision because strong business means strong economy means more money for everyone.

I hate niggers and chinks and poo-in-loos, but there is a place for everyone on this planet. The important thing to remember is that the place of whites is on the top.

Depends, if by diversity you mean hiring japanese, or chinese guys, that can work a lot, and be precise than it is good. But if you mean like the leftards do, to hire a nigger than you get a lazy fuck, that you cannot even fire without a lawsuit, unless he attack an other employee, if you hire and indian, you get a fucker that always on the phone, and making all the other employees uncomfortamble, and annoyed, and lowers general productivity, if you hire a mudslime, they will start to turn the whole company into a third world shithole, with no productivity whatsoever, one prayer break at a time. Own experience, you can only get away with hiring eastern europeans (not romanians) like poles, or hungarians, or baltic poorfags, but that would still cause some tensions because of wage differences (if you use temps, you are an asshole that should be shot to death), but eastern europeans can work, and can even get more shit done than english people, certainly take less fucking tea breaks. Anyways, you should stick to your native countryman, it pays out in the long run, you don't want minor profit increase now, while the environment around you turn into hell, because migrant workers lowering the general wages, natives find jobs harder, have less to spend, living standards decrease, cities get more crowded because of economic migrants, rents rise, crime increases, you will have to invest more in security, and less of your products or services will be afforded by your costumers.

I'd rather hire the average white guy than a lazy nigger, and I'd rather hire an educated black dude than some trailer trash fuck.

Good diversity = Mixing different flavours of soft drink to achieve a better tasting drink
Bad diversity = Mixing soft drink and coffee - you could add coffee into any selection of diverse soft drinks hybrids and It would instantly ruin them all

Some things can combine to create something greater than it parts, others will ruin each other every single time

Generally that's only true for teams that are diverse in terms of skillsets, not in terms of race or culture. There are a few exceptions. If you want to ship a product to all parts of the world, you have to understand cultural norms and nuances to have the edge in marketing.

But for engineering or any technical subject for that matter, diversity of race and culture is completely irrelevant, because race and culture itself is completely irrelevant once you internalize the scientific method and have knowledge of your subject.

Having people that can do their job is more profitable in a company. That includes working well with others. There's no sense hiring people just for the color of their skin or what sex they are, as this leads to people who really don't understand how to do their work. Equally, if an employee openly discriminates against others while on site, they are an inhibitor to the company and worth throwing out. Skinheads and feminazies alike.
>>
>>70613857
In a controlled environment it may work but let's face it - the majority of companies do not take their hiring practices seriously and most HR people exist solely to place warm bodies in seats based on muh feels and how much time they have until the next lunch/meeting/fill-in-the-blank-excuse to make it look like you're really busy when you're actually just fucking off.

SO.

Since your HR people have their own agendas that involve the least amount of work/thought possible, it lands on those of you who DO work for a living to pull all the water for your respective departments.

With this pragmatist's view in mind:

Most grown adults - they still largely behave like children. Any bullshit you see fly on a daily basis in your typical high school is what you can expect.

You should pick the person who you think will get along with the others the best and lets slip the fewest personal issues during the interview.

The last thing you want is someone coming in, full of culture shock, acting like they have something to prove when they are too stupid to realize they don't know shit, being abrasive to your core members.

They should not be whining about their junker of a car, or how they suddenly need to take day after day after fucking day off from work because:

* Apartment got flooded.
* Teenage daughter attempted to commit suicide.
* Tires on car slashed.
* Apartment caught on fire this time, so please donate $ because no insurance.
* Family member who was babysitting suddenly needs to rush to hospital. Again. And, again.
* Child is participating in sports so now all of these dates must have hours changed.
* Sick (range of conditions would make God cry)
* Getting a divorce. Nope, back together. Ok, divorce.

This list goes on and on, and it is typical of what you will hear from hiring certain types of people who compensate for their lack of knowledge and ethic with overconfidence and ego.
