Organisations-pädagogische Fragen an Diversity Management

Diversity management questioned from the point of view of organisational educational science Diversity management is a popular management approach. It promises to allow diversity in organisations and thus to appreciate people for what they are. It undertakes to recognise different points of view, ideas, abilities and potentials, not to standardise cultural variety but to reinforce it. For adult education, this concept seems highly promising. After all, one claim of educational management is to promote personality development and personal progress in a business context. However, critical scrutiny shows that variety is only welcomed as long as it is used syste matically. A discussion of the concept from the point of view of organisational educational science shows that diversity management does not suff iciently exhaust its educational potential.
