In the last decades diversity and its management has become a feature of modern and postmodern organizations. Different practices have spread around the globe focusing on the organizing and management of inclusion and exclusion of persons and identities based on different genders, sexual orientations, racial and ethnic backgrounds, ages, and (dis)abilities as well as religious beliefs. However, although increasingly recognized as important, the discourses of diversity are multifaceted and not without controversy. Furthermore, diversity management practices have the potential to reproduce both inclusion and exclusion. The book presents the foundations of organizing and managing diversities, offers multidisciplinary, intersectional and critical analyses on key issues, and opens up fresh perspectives in order to advance the diversity debate. It also inspires new debates on diversity by encouraging scholars to broaden their research agendas and assists students and scholars to increase their understanding of the field and its current discussions. The contributors are a team of leading diversity scholars from all over the world.

Tutkimukselta vaaditaan yhä äänekkäämmin sovellettavuutta, kaupallista hyödynnettävyyttä ja yhteiskunnallista vaikuttavuutta. Soveltavan tutkimuksen nousu perustutkimuksen rinnalle yliopistoissa ja korkeakouluissa nähdään usein uhkana tutkimuksen vapaudelle. Soveltava yhteiskuntatiede ja filosofia pohtii tieteenfilosofian keinoin soveltavan tutkimuksen yhteiskuntatieteille asettamia haasteita. Miten soveltavan tutkimuksen tuloksia tulisi tarkastella? Mikä asema tieteellisillä arvoilla on tässä tarkastelussa? Entä mikä asema on yhteiskunnallisilla arvoilla? Miten sovellettavuuden vaatimus vaikuttaa tutkimuksen näkökulmaan ja menetelmiin? Teos lähestyy näitä kysymyksiä liiketaloustieteiden ja kansantalous-tieteiden näkökulmasta. Monitieteinen teos on tarkoitettu kaikille tutkimuksen soveltamisesta kiinnostuneille: opiskelijoille, tutkijoille sekä tutkimuksia tilaaville yrityksille ja julkishallinnon organisaatioille. Se sopii myös oppikirjaksi liiketaloustieteiden ja muiden soveltavien tieteiden menetelmien ja tieteenfilosofian opetukseen.
