This series of eight short two-part cases (“caselets”) is written to highlight some of the most challenging and potentially destabilising moments in everyday work life in the Asian context. With globalisation, many Asian organisations are becoming increasingly diverse. Managers and employees often have to deal with tensions arising from workplace diversity. At some point in most people’s career, they will inevitably encounter these difficult situations either as seen by the protagonists of the cases or as the bosses who have to manage the protagonist; or might be friends, colleagues or family members of the protagonist. It is hence important that these situations can be managed from different perspectives.
The caselets capture some challenging diversity-related situations pertaining to gender, race, religion, culture, and sexual orientation. The aim is primarily to help students better appreciate the root causes of these tensions and critically think of the challenges it raises and ways to better handle them. It is suitable for undergraduate/post-graduate students (MBA), and also early career executives.
