Running Head: DIVERSITY ISSUES
DIVERSITY ISSUES2

21. Diversity Issues
Author Note
Where is the Abstract?
Diversity Issues
The success of any organization depends on the unique
personalities and differences exhibited by the employees in the
course of their performance. The differences result in various
input styles that impact on the overall performance of the
organization. As the organization expands its operational scales,
it is bound to experience this rich diversity of skill application
from among its employees and this is the essence of diversity
(Ray, 2009). The diversity is of various aspects and forms such
as race, gender, organizational structures and function,
communication and education among others. This paper focuses
on communication as diversity issue that affects organizations,

22. a case study of the Pizza Inn Restaurant Company.
The success of any organization that is experiencing economies
of scale depends on communication strategies. These include
the sources used to retrieve information about the organization,
the means, and channels used to convey the intended
information to either the employees or the target audience for
such information. The relationship between the top managerial
personnel and the employees, either senior or junior is highly
affected by the channels and methods used to pass such
information.
Being a multinational company specialized in quality food
production; the inadequate passing of information from one
central place to other satellite branches in various parts of the
world can result in significant confusion in operational
structures and consequently reduced revenue maximization
(Osilaja & University of La Verne, 2009). Execution of
effective communication strategies, however, must start from
the central headquarters from among the managers and the
employee. Failure to give any required information relating to
the business operations to the workers and seek suitable
remedies from them makes them feel worthless in matters
contribution to decision making that is crucial to the success of
the food company. Their openness to decision-making and good
will for innovating new trends required for successful growth is
finally hindered.

23. Diversifying communication in such kind of organization with a
broad customer and market margin is therefore very prudent. It
does not only help to foster the attitude of openness among
employees but also ensures accurate monitoring of the
performance as far leadership is concerned. Besides, it provides
a useful and personal commitment of leaders and managers to
the organization. Incorporating real communication
diversification translates into a culture that fosters achievement
of the company’s set objectives and purpose, this ensures there
is no deviation as far as the realization of maximum profits, and
provision of efficient services is concerned.
Transparency and accountability among employees can be
boosted through effective communication strategies. It ensures
members of the restaurant carry out their roles to the best of
their ability and the resulting output are products that can
favorably compete in the competitive global market. The
financial cash flows can be adequately monitored and the profits
used to improve business infrastructure as well as the welfare of
its employees (Hallin & Gustavsson, 2010). As a result, the
overall performance of the enterprise significantly improves,
and a wider market is captured. Comment by alex yousefi: This
sentence is constructed in such a way that we cannot understand
the meaning or determine the specific problem. It may have
multiple errors. Consider rewriting the entire sentence.

24. Therefore, consideration of the diversification of
communication is mandatory for the success of any
multinational company such as the Pizza Inn restaurant
corporation. Without due consideration of the various
communication methodologies used, little return from the
market is expected despite the existence of several branches
throughout the world.
