Many researchers agree, that cultural diversity has positive influence on an organization – encouraging creativity, adaptivity, problem solving, knowledge transfer, creating conditions for innovative ideas and perspectives, however it also increases probability of conflicts, loss of trust as well as other challenges. Therefore, Ikegami et al (2017) equates cultural diversity to Schrödinger‘s cat – a dual state of existence, at the same time it is an asset to an organization and a challenge. Cultural diversity is currently receiving increasing research intensity. There have been various studies conducted analysing opportunities created by cultural diversity on various levels. Also, widely analysed are cultural diversity influences on organization and relation between cultural diversity and innovation. However, there is a lack of research that focus on “how to manage” cultural diversity to achieve innovativeness or innovation. This is due to cultural diversity on its own not being able to guarantee these outcomes. The aim is to investigate how to enable innovativeness in an organisation while managing cultural diversity. Firstly, cultural diversity management and relation to organizational innovation are discussed; secondly, the cultural diversity management models are analysed. Comparative analysis and synthesis of scientific literature were used to conduct the research.

Subject. This article deals with the issues relating to improving integrated reporting in terms of dovetailing strategic objectives with capital changes. Objectives. The article aims to develop a system of indicators for disclosure of capital types in integrated reporting of electricity generating companies, as well as recommendations aimed at implementing the fundamental concepts and guiding principles of integrated reporting. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, and abstraction. As a case study, we conduct a comparative analysis of the disclosure of six types of capital by the largest electricity generating companies, namely PAO Inter RAO, AO Rosenergoatom and PAO RusHydro. Results. The article formulates proposals for disclosure of capital information to address such a lack of accountability as a contradiction to the principle of coherence. It proposes a system of indicators (core and additional) for disclosure of six types of capital by electricity generating companies. Conclusions. A significant reporting problem is the lack of correlation between key strategic objectives and capital changes. The formulated recommendations for disclosure of capital information can help solve this problem, and increase the attractiveness of the integrated report for capital providers.

The topic of cultural diversity in hospitality firms has been somewhat neglected in the abundant research on cultural diversity in organizations. To overcome the gap, the purpose of the research was to examine the antecedents and outcomes of employing a culturally diverse workforce in hotels. Results from semistructured interviews showed there are four antecedents for the increase in cultural diversity and outcomes reflect significantly more benefits than challenges. Our findings suggest the benefits of cultural diversity come from the informational advantages, supporting the processing perspective. The challenges of diversity are rooted in the social categorization and in-group-out-group dynamics, lending support to the social identity theory. This study advances diversity literature based on research evidence of the various antecedents and outcomes in employing a culturally diverse workforce. Implications for diversity management are offered so the benefits may be sustained, and the challenges may be minimized in hospitality firms.
