Explain how multicultural organizations address the cultural aspects of integration.
What will be an ideal response?
Whereas the pluralistic organization does not adequately address the cultural aspects of integration, multicultural organizations are both diverse and valuing of differences. These organizations fully integrate gender, racial, and minority group members, both formally and informally. Managers value and leverage the varieties of experiences and knowledge employees bring to the company. The truly multicultural organization is marked by an absence of prejudice and discrimination and by low levels of intergroup conflict. It forges a synergistic environment in which all members contribute to their maximum potential, and it fully realizes diversity advantages.

Over the past several years General Motors (GM), like other auto manufacturers, has introduced many new models of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in all its major divisions. This proliferation of SUVs and an increase in gasoline prices have caused sales to level off. In response, GM offered rebates of up to $5,000 or no-interest financing on selected models of SUVs. The largest rebates went to current owners of GM vehicles, so that they would replace their current vehicles with a GM model instead of switching to another brand. The rebates have been heavily advertised on national television. Profit margins per vehicle have shrunk as a result of these costly promotions. In which stage of the product life cycle is GM currently operating?
A. market growth B. sales decline C. market introduction D. market establishment E. market maturity
