■ 標題   Locating Diversity Management in Japan: Mapping How Japanese Diversity Managers Conceptualize, Plan and Implement Diversity Initiatives

■ 概要   In this paper, I build a framework to understand the experiences of diversity managers in Japan in their attempts to grasp what diversity management means. In seeking some answers, diversity managers are turning to literature that comes largely from the West, especially the USA. Thus, the first part of this paper examines this literature, recognizing the importance of the US context by showing linkages with broader social contexts and managerial motives behind the emergence of the concept of diversity management. Following this is an exploration of how Japanese diversity managers are re-conceptualizing Western notions of diversity in relation to their own life history and the circumstances of their company. It is a presentation of my own preliminary findings from a larger study. In conclusion, I briefly outline some themes that have risen as a result of the longitudinal nature of my study with the purpose of considering these themes when I reenter the field.
