Students are requested to address the following question:
A 9th April 2014 Straits Times report quoted an article from the Singapore-based Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE): "The statistics are discomforting. But while discussions about discrimination can be difficult, they are also necessary. And there is no better time for them than now, when the (Singapore) Government is itself focusing on the issue. Research suggests that workforce diversity leads to greater productivity and innovation. A 2011 Forbes Insight study surveyed 321 top executives from several MNCs. Fully 85 per cent believed that greater social diversity helped drive innovation by encouraging different perspectives and ideas" (Moana & Edwina, 2014)
