Abstract
This chapter discusses the concept of inclusion , and proposes that organisations should move beyond traditional diversity management initiatives towards inclusion. It is not suggested that organisations skip over diversity management. Instead, it is suggested that they begin with diversity management and move towards inclusion, which, as the title of this chapter suggests, can arguably be considered Diversity Management 2.0 . This chapter begins by defining and explaining the concept of diversity and diversity management, before presenting an argument for inclusion and outlining how organisations may begin their inclusionary efforts.
