New Material
Leading and Managing Diverse Organizations (MORS 462)
Professor Glick, in collaboration with Professor Katherine Phillips, has developed a new MBA elective course "Leading and Managing Diverse Organizations" (MORS 462), first taught in the Fall of 2009. This course focuses on the individual, team, organizational, market, and cross-cultural factors managers must negotiate to lead effectively in globally diverse environments. In the contemporary knowledge economy, leaders must create sustainable settings for productive exchange and interaction. This course will equip leaders with the necessary skill set to enhance productivity and performance through inclusive practices in diverse teams and organizations.

The course responds to demographic changes and globalization in the workplace by framing diversity and inclusion as a resource and a process to be leveraged rather than as a problem to be solved. With the rise of globalization, men and women of different nationalities, ethnicities, and races will necessarily make up a greater proportion of the workforce. To be successful, managers must learn to integrate different viewpoints to enhance creative problem solving, task performance, and leadership ability. The course will give added reason for managers to respond effectively to differences in the workplace, moving beyond moral and competitive motives, to the sustainable goals of collaborative learning and innovation in organizations.
