The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions of the diversity managers/ directors in the multinational corporations that provided the information that was essential for the success of this project. These individuals contributed their time and knowledge enthusiastically during extensive face-to-face interviews. Without them, this research study would not have been possible.
Appreciation is also shared with Mildred Griggs, Director of the University of Illinois NCRVE site, and the many NCRVE staff members at the University of California at Berkeley for their continued support of this project.
In addition, special thanks are due to Lauren Jacobs, who was the reviewer selected by NCRVE for her helpful comments on earlier drafts.
