Abstract

Zusammenfassung Das Konzept des Diversity-Managements erlebt zurzeit in Wissenschaft und Praxis gleichermaßen eine boomartige Verbreitung. Auf Grundlage einer empirischen Analyse der Gründe seiner Verbreitung und seiner Gestaltung in der Praxis sowie seines von unternehmen erwarteten Nutzens werden im vorliegenden Beitrag Hinweise für die Beantwortung der Frage gesammelt, ob die Etablierung des Diversity-Managements in Deutschland eine anhaltende Entwicklung darstellt. Dabei lassen sich sowohl Indizien finden, die eine Modeerscheinung nahe legen, als auch solche, die für seine dauerhafte Etablierung sprechen. Vor dem Hintergrund zu erwartender Veränderungen der Personalstrukturen von in Deutschland agierenden unternehmen kann jedoch davon ausgegangen werden, dass das Management personeller Vielfalt zukünftig — unter bestimmten Bedingungen — fester Bestandteil vieler Unternehmen sein muss.
