Diversity concerns during a major crisis: Effective response through social innovation

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

The impact of major crises like the COVID-19 pandemic is more profound on various groups deemed to be vulnerable. Social innovation initiatives offer ways to effectively address the needs and challenges of these diverse groups and reduce effects which can become more disparate within emerging nations where commitment to equality and diversity issues is low.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
