NC State MBA faculty research on diversity and innovation

Poole College of Management faculty members Roger Mayer and Richard Warr have published a study in the journal Financial Management that shows that companies can profit from diversity.  Mayer and Warr found that companies with a more diverse workforce (in terms of gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation) produce more new products and obtain more patents.  Warr was interviewed recently on WUNC-FM radio about the study.
