    About this ebook

    Improving the representation of minorities and females at the highest corporate levels is considered to be a great method of improving diversity at lower corporate levels. While many companies desire and need increased diversity, they often lack a clear understanding of why diversity is important and how best to improve diversity. Business pressures are thought to contrast with diversity objectives. This literature review examines sources which help explain the challenges, benefits, and practices for improving diversity at the corporate executive level.

    Van Allen

    Van Allen Fiction by Screaming Weasel Productions is my latest work. I'm a former Captain in the US Marines who now writes thrillers and futuristic adventures, including stories with conspiracy theories, alien invasions, space wars, and of course the zombie apocalypse. In my 21-year military career, I developed expertise in both combat training early on and then criminal investigations later on. While in the Marines, I completed a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University and a Masters in Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Originally from Houston, Texas and currently residing in Frisco, Texas, I fancy myself a secret physics, statistics, and data nerd. I'm also known today for being a part-time tennis strategy and coaching genius...by my kids...sometimes.
