Perform research on one of the top 10 companies identified by DiversityInc as a company that demonstrates the business case for diversity, prepare a literature review of your research on that company. The literature review should include sources from scholarly and professional journals describing the performance of the organization as it relates to diversity, in addition to the organization's website that you are researching. The literature review should include a bibliography of sources and a brief paragraph describing the contents of the article/website. Prepare a list of thoughtful questions regarding diversity in that organization. Again, you can use secondary data to assist you in formulating good questions.
In Module 05, submit the completed audit, a 7-10 page paper describing the results of your research. The paper should be written using APA or MLA style, in .RTF or Word file, double spaced and in 12-point font.
•Evaluate what you have learned about the company in terms of diversity, comparing it against the criteria you established. Be sure to pay attention to subtle cues (i.e. is there evidence that they really do what they say they do). For example, a manager proudly pointed out that his large retail organization hired physically challenged workers. However, they were all assigned to work in the stockroom, where they were never seen by any customers. Feel free to add additional criteria that you did not think of after the interview/visit.
•Prepare a 7-10 page paper which explains your findings in detail. The paper should be free from spelling and grammatical errors. Make sure you cite all written Web sources, journal articles and interviews in a bibliography, and contain exhibits, such as copies of the organizational value statements or company newsletters, if appropriate.
•To summarize, your report should detail the strengths and weaknesses of the organization's diversity initiatives. List the criteria (one page), provide some company background/history (one page), evaluate the organization's efforts in terms of diversity, and make recommendations for improvement.
