A case study is an examination of a specific subject with recommendations of solutions. You are tasked with examining a current (within the past 3 years) diversity issue that is prevalent in today’s economy and workforce.
You will choose a U.S. company or organization to research, identify a particular issue that is affecting (pros and cons) the company, and its apparent approach to managing the potential issues.
Examples of diversity issues can include a lack of minorities and women in leadership, unequal pay, and hiring discrimination, and examples of well-known companies struggling to maintain diversity include Google, Facebook, Amazon, and numerous large banks and tech companies. While these examples offer a starting place, you may select an organization and issue that interests you.
