The Dynamics of Diversity and Change in Management Education: Fragment from a Case
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 September 2015
Abstract
The present paper takes an ‘unintentional’ look at the issue of diversity as it presents itself in a study of management education. The inquiry is unintentional in that the author had not conceptualised diversity as an artefact of the research, yet found himself struggling to work with his own experience of difference as he engaged with the subject of the research. The concept of diversity came to be thought of in terms of ‘requisite variety’ and its challenge to management education is conceptualised as a search for a ‘holding environment.’ These ideas are grounded in the case material of a part time, postgraduate student of business administration who works as a financial manager in an Australian corporation, is female and is ethnically a Malaysian Chinese.
