Section A
1) Diversity can be defined as the identifying, understanding and accepting individual
dissimilarities regardless of their gender, age, race, class, spiritual practice and so on.
The management perspective of cultivating diversity in the work place is to adopt
diversity so as to make the organization more creative and responsive to change
(Dutton, Roberts & Bednar, 2010). However, from some years it has been a challenge
for the management to manage diversity in the organization so as to value cultural
differences.
In the current scenario, the main area of the work place diversity depends on
the promotion of individuality within a business enterprise so as to understand that
each individual can bring something new and different to the table. There are various
advantages of encouraging diversity in the workplace. (Abrams & Moio, 2009).
Employees in an organization come from various different background and
experiences and this bring more creativity and perspectives on the table. If these
perspectives are managed well, the management of the organization can harness the
best strength and skill of every individual which will lead in the higher productivity
and superior results.
According to Claudia Cadena, director of strategic human capital management
at SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd, the unity of the team will state its potential for
success (Bruhn, Karlan & Schoar, 2010). The management just ensures that
employees mix capabilities can be considered while taking strategic decisions,
planning and execution.
Therefore, with the help of these diverse individuals, many ideas can be test
and analyse with one another so that the management can get necessary substantial
idea matching to their business strategic plan.
In addition, this consolidation of diverse individuals also set the table with creativity
with the testing of many different ideas against one another so that a high potential
and substantial idea can be birthed.
Cultivation of different ideas to enhance workplace diversity will also help in
the growth of the employees (Stevens, Plaut & Sanchez, 2008). As employees are
exposed to various different cultures, ideas and opinions, there will be more personal
growth which will advance their capability so that to match themselves with

different situations in the diverse business environment. With the help of culture
diversity, the enterprises can also have an opportunity to combine specific strengths
for the benefit of the business corporation. As every individual of the organization
possesses various skills with different strengths, this can be merged so that to bring
greater performance and productivity. Moreover, with the help of cultural expertise of
diverse individuals, an organization can leverage many benefits for the organization
and this can be more beneficial in the global and international organization as this
cultural diversity can match the requirement of each market irrespective of different
demographics.
From the perspective of demand market, an organization cultivate workplace
diversity will be more attractive for the environment in which they are serving. With
the exploration of new ideas and approaches, a business enterprise can attract a
diverse range of applicants (Combs, & Luthans, 2007).
As there is large geographical division around the world, the need of cultural
diversity has been increased and the organization have to focus on how diversity can
be best managed in the particular environment of the organization so that to serve the
global community in the best possible way.
Section B
1) Systems deal with the complexity of the organization by making the models simplify
according to the environment. System approach considers the company a dynamic and
interrelated set of parts (Alvesson, Hardy & Harley, 2008). Each part represents a
department or sub-system, which is further divided into sub systems. In these sub-
systems, continuous interactions help the organization in accomplishing goals of the
larger systems. This makes the organization to repetitively respond to changes in the
internal and external environment situations. They also act as market leaders in the
