📅 Thursday, November 28, 2024: Laure Bereni, CNRS research director, Le management de la vertu - La diversité en entreprise à New York et Paris Presses de Sciences Po, 2023. 17h30-19h, Marseille, Institut régional du travail, 63 la Canebière, amphithéâtre Noailles, 3rd floor.
Based on a long-term investigation in New York and Paris, this book seeks to assess the true scope of these managerial conducts marked with the seal of virtue. It takes a critical look at contemporary capitalism's claim to merge profit and the common good. Pressed by law and morality to fight discrimination, companies have developed their own diversity strategy: valuing differences (in gender, origin, age, qualifications, etc.) and treating employees fairly is said to attract talent, conquer new markets and stimulate creativity. In short, diversity means business.
