Richard, a young Asian American who recently graduated with honors, has joined a prominent consulting firm. He is a brilliant, enthusiastic, highly motivated entry-level associate. The buzz around the office is that an exciting new client is to be pitched. This project could mean significant revenues, and careers could be made from success on this venture. Richard has been invited to join the team making the presentation to the client in three weeks, and he will have a significant client-facing role in this project if the bid is accepted.
Richard is surprised about this assignment because he is so new to the organization. He speaks to his mentor, a partner in a different division, who explains to Richard that the CIO in the prospective company is an Asian American man. How do you proceed if you are Richard? Write a short paragraph describing how you would handle the situation.
Consider the following questions in your response:
1. Is Richard being stereotyped by his company as someone the client CIO can “relate” to because they are both Asian American?
2. If you were Richard, would you perceive that your inclusion on the team is a result of your race?
3. How might this translate into an ethical dilemma for Richard and/or his company?
Student responses will vary. One reality in life and in organizations is that diversity exists and organizations, if they want to succeed, try to match their workforce or human resources to that of their customers/clients. An advantage of this is that in doing so, they are able to understand the needs and thinking including the emotions and values of their customers.
