The population for this study was composed of the 30 multinational corporations in the state of Illinois listed in the book entitled Directory of Diversity in Corporate America (1994). From those 30 corporations, a sample of eight was randomly selected to participate in the study. The population and sample that was selected for this study is ideal because, in order for a corporation to be included in the directory, it must have extensive experience with workforce diversity, be a multinational corporation, be allocating resources to diversity initiatives, and have launched successful corporate diversity initiatives.
