Journal of Business Diversity

The Journal of Business Diversity (JBD) is dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge by publishing, through a blind, refereed process, ongoing analysis, study and results that address nontraditional demographic characteristics such as age, gender and ethnicity that influence company policies. JBD is inclusive, & practical, and encourages active interaction between academics, managers, and consultants performing in diverse business settings. The scope encompasses policy analysis and best practices in large and small enterprises, public and private sector service organizations, state and national government, and local and regional societies and economies with special emphasis on linking academic research to future practice. Articles are written by business leaders, policy analysts and active researchers for an audience of specialists, practitioners and students. Articles of regional interest are welcome, especially those dealing with lessons that may be applied in other regions around the world. This would include, but not limited to areas of marketing, management, finance, accounting, management information systems, human resource management, organizational theory and behavior, operations management, economics, or any of these disciplines in an international context.
