After reading the sources I would say there is evidence that employees in the survey they conducted self reported better financial performance from the following options:
"how would you compare your organization’s performance
over the past two years in terms of
market share? .|.|. Would you say that it was (1)
much worse, (2) somewhat worse, (3) about the
same, (4) somewhat better, or (5) much better?”
You are truly grasping at straws. There are 15 citations there, many of which show direct data of market cap and share price performance for these companies and you hunt down a single survey you have an issue with. Please.
I dont have time to review all 15 citations, it was the first one I picked based on the claim made in your document. It was also the most closely related claim that you linked to the document in question:
>"An investigation of 500 U.S. businesses found that
companies with more race and gender diverse
teams had higher sales revenue, more customers,
greater market share, and greater profits than did
less diverse companies.4"
You are being very uncharitable to suggest I am "grasping at straws" by reviewing the very document you are using as evidence.
Lets review page 3, each paragraph is a claim.
1. executive boards
2. executive boards
3. top management level
4. top management teams
5. greater profit and market share
6. student study make believe
Now you can see why I Chose 5 to investigate as 1-4,6 are pretty much unrelated to what we are talking about which is diversity of the work force, not high level management.
"how would you compare your organization’s performance over the past two years in terms of market share? .|.|. Would you say that it was (1) much worse, (2) somewhat worse, (3) about the same, (4) somewhat better, or (5) much better?”
Surely we can be more factual than this?
