According to Steven Rodgers,
less than 1 percent of the 10,000 case studies published by Harvard Business School feature black business leaders.
Teaching cases which capture the stories, voices, and experiences of Blacks in business can serve as role models and inspiration for students of color. For other students, these cases may help them become more effective in an increasingly diverse work world. There are many benefits of workplace diversity and what better place for students to learn about and experience those benefits than in a classroom using cases which include underrepresented voices. Including and valuing diverse perspectives can drive personal growth, learning, creativity and innovation, and ultimately economic growth.
