Colorado State University Global Campus Your Diverse Organization Paper
Business Finance
Congratulations! You have been given a lump sum of $2.5 million by a generous angel investor who is willing to support your business dreams and goals. While there is much to consider in regard to developing a strong business, one of the most important aspects of business development, from the investor’s point of view, is creating a diverse and inclusive organizational culture. In order to receive any of the funds, you are required to present a detailed paper to the angel investor (i.e., your instructor) that includes the following information:
- Information about your company, with details about its mission, vision, values, and purpose. Remember that this information should reflect your organization’s commitment to diversity.
- An overview of your definition of diversity and an explanation of how your definition encompasses diversity of thought, opinion, and values.
- Details about how creating a culture of diversity will enhance your organization’s operations, productivity, and profitability.
- Four well-developed workplace policies that promote diversity (e.g., demographic, cultural, thought, etc.).
- A well-developed plan for how leaders and managers will address conflict related to diversity, which encompasses an explanation of how this plan uses effective conflict-management skills.
