About the book:
This book contains the first broad presentation of Diversity Icebreaker, a tool to manage diversity.
Diversity Icebreaker is both an instrument to capture individual differences relevant to group and teamwork. It also focuses on process, in which self and team knowledge is generated.
The book combines separate papers that have been presented at different conferences as well as unpublished empirical data.
- Part one
Part one of this book starts with a presentation of the instrument, and is followed by a description of the typical form of running seminars with Diversity Icebreaker. Then a description of the categories related to the instrument is provided. Finally, part one also offers norm data and scientific documentation with a focus on descriptive statistics.
- Part two
Part two of the book is a collection of different works on the DI Instrument. Several authors have contributed in this part. The two first chapters in part two relate the dimensions of Diversity Icebreaker to Big 5 personality dimensions and to Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Chapter three focus on how the dimensions in the Diversity Icebreaker are related to leadership evaluation. The application of the concept in different countries and in cross cultural training is the focus of chapter four. Chapter five gives insight into the experiences of those who have applied the DI instrument on a large scale basis. Then a chapter that focuses on how diversity can add value in teams and organizations follows. The last chapter brings in new perspectives where marketing again is in focus, but now on the issues of ”brand personality”.
