New Ideas for Race-related Problems in Corporate American Companies


Race-related problems in corporate companies are usually interpreted as racial job discrimination. In essence, racial job discrimination is just one of several race-related problems that are rarely mentioned in public discourse and the corporate workplace. This book offers a perspective on these race-related problems. The ability to solve complex problems related to racial issues in the corporate workplace depends on the ability to see the problem from a different perspective. Too often, the effort of dealing with race-related problems is to focus on racial job discrimination with little to no attention given to the passive or invisible race-related problems that are precursors to racial job discrimination. The goal of this book is to provide the reader with a new perspective of understanding these problems. A New Perspective on Race-related Problems in Corporate American Companies is not just the typical book in the genre of race-related problems in the corporate workplace. Instead, it is a book that attempts to put the broader race-related problems on the radar of corporate employers and employees. It does this by providing the following: identifying the race- related problems, outlining their root causes, outlining their impact on nonwhite employees, providing strategies to resolve or cope with these problems, and proposing a program to help reduce these problems. The author hopes that those who read this book and are involved with corporate companies will be inspired to make the corporate workplace a positive and harmonious environment for all.
