摘要
本研究旨在批判性地讨论多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)辩论,并将其重新定位为解决和纠正普遍存在的结构性不平等的理念。本研究以布尔迪厄为基础,首先探讨了发展型企业在国际商务(IB)中的传播和争论。然后,它提出了一个受布迪厄启发的议程,以推动将社会正义原则移植到国际商务中。研究结果针对日益加剧的全球不平等现象--跨国企业(MNE)在其中起到了重要作用--SJ 运动将 DEI 推向了更广阔的社会和政治舞台,包括企业董事会。在国际企业内部,一种经过稀释的 DEI(国际企业-DEI)作为一种改善跨国企业绩效的范式出现,但未能解决潜在的结构性不平等问题。随着发展型企业的社会影响、效用和合法性受到质疑,发展型企业的争论也随之出现了变化。本研究提出了在国际企业中扩展 DEI 的概念和背景,并推进社会参与研究和实践,以帮助加强 DEI 的核心 SJ 目的--解决结构性不平等。
Transcending the DEI contradictions: a Bourdieusian path to social justice in international business
Purpose
This study aims to critically discuss and reorient the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) debate toward the idea of addressing and rectifying the pervasive structural inequalities that DEI, in its undiluted form rooted in social justice (SJ), aims to combat. Drawing on Bourdieu, the study first examines the diffusion and contestation of DEI into international business (IB). It then proposes a Bourdieu-inspired agenda to advance the transposition of SJ principles into IB.
Design/methodology/approach
The study interpretively reconstructs the process of DEI’s ideational diffusion. It examines how the interplay between ideas and field dynamics in IB shapes ideational processes and outcomes.
Findings
In response to rising global inequalities – to which multinational enterprises (MNEs) have significantly contributed – SJ movements have propelled DEI into the wider social and political arena, including corporate boardrooms. Within IB, a diluted version of DEI – IB-DEI – emerged as a paradigm to improve MNEs’ performance, but failed to address underlying structural inequalities. As the social impacts, utility and legitimacy of DEI have been challenged, the DEI debate has come to a flux. The study proposes conceptual and contextual extension of DEI within IB and advancing socially engaged research and practice that help reinforce DEI’s core SJ purpose – tackling structural inequalities.
Originality/value
The study is one of the few to openly tackle SJ-IB contradictions on DEI, while advancing the application of Bourdieu to critical studies of IB.
期刊介绍:
In recent years, the business practices and management philosophies of global enterprises have been subject to increasingly close scrutiny by commentators in the fields of journalism and academia. Such scrutiny has been motivated by a growing desire to examine the nature of globalisation, its impact on specific communities and its benefits for society as a whole. Coverage includes, but is not restricted to, issues of: ■Globalization ■Production and consumption ■Economic change ■Societal change ■Politics and power of organizations and governments ■Environmental impact
