“…The dual concern model suggests that individuals consider their concern for self-interest and the organization's interest when facing change (Lo and Parlamis 2012;Musenero et al 2021). Understanding this dual concern can show why stakeholders may resist change and how to align their interests with organizational goals (Lo and Parlamis 2012;Musenero et al 2021).…”

The concept of “diversity dishonesty” has emerged as a pressing concern within highly selective and highly ranked schools of medicine, pharmacy, and public health at elite and highly ranked U.S. universities, particularly in the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. This phenomenon, defined as a lack of sincerity and genuineness in an organization’s commitment to genuine and measurable change regarding diversity, raises significant questions about the authenticity of their endeavors. Organizations often engage in surface-level or performative actions related to diversity, creating the illusion of progress and dedication while failing to enact substantive and meaningful advancements in promoting diversity and inclusivity. This applied research inquiry uses a review of literature, research theories, and research frameworks to delve into the nuanced dynamics of diversity dishonesty, exploring how organizations demonstrate a commitment in form but not in substance. The practice of tokenism, where diverse individuals are hired and prominently featured in organizational materials but are not genuinely valued, emerges as a defining characteristic of diversity dishonesty. Moreover, when questions regarding the authenticity of their commitment arise, organizations may resort to gaslighting minorities, further exacerbating the issue. Recognizing the critical need to address diversity dishonesty, this article comprehensively explores frameworks to understand and combat this phenomenon. It seeks to engage with viable theories, problem-solving approaches, and contextual models that can illuminate the complex interplay of factors contributing to diversity dishonesty. By shedding light on the mechanisms through which elite and highly ranked predominantly White schools of medicine, pharmacy, and public health engage in performative acts without enacting transformative cultural change, this research aims to pave the way for more genuine and impactful DEI efforts and future research in this area.

“…Based on SET, we argue that manufacturers can achieve better exchange performance when they develop CMS archetypes with a higher cooperation tendency and lower competition tendency. Adopting a more cooperative CMS archetype conveys the manufacturer concerns more about partner's interests and prefers to settle the conflict properly (Butt et al, 2005;Musenero et al, 2021). This conveys a positive signal to the partner that the manufacturer is willing to safeguard and continue bilateral cooperation relationship (Lu and Wang, 2017).…”

“…Secondly, this archetype strengthens mutual trust and commitment, making suppliers less inclined to engage in one-sided opportunistic actions. By contrast, adopting a more competitive CMS archetype to resolve interfirm conflict indicates that the dependence-advantaged manufacturer places more weight on its own benefits and less on its supplier's interests (Thomas, 1992;Musenero et al, 2021). Meanwhile, the manufacturer's dominant and exploitative behavior may trigger a negative reciprocal response from the supplier.…”

PurposeDeveloping appropriate conflict management strategies (CMSs) is important for a firm to achieve better relationships with its supply chain partners. However, the literature has rarely considered how firms may simultaneously adopt various CMSs to address interfirm conflicts. Accordingly, this study aims to identify manufacturers' CMS archetypes with their main suppliers based on interfirm interdependence structure, further examining the relationship between various CMS archetypes and exchange performance.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the authors theoretically propose a manufacturer's CMS archetypes configured with Rahim's five CMSs based on interfirm interdependence structure. Second, cluster analysis with data from 200 Chinese manufacturers is used to generate a manufacturer's actual CMS archetypes. Third, the authors analyze the relationship between interfirm interdependence structure and Rahim's five CMSs as well as that with the new configured CMS archetypes. Finally, the authors use Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to compare exchange performance disparities among manufacturers using different CMS archetypes.FindingsFirst, cluster analysis results show that three archetypes – cooperative, competitive and cooperative-competitive CMS – emerge during interfirm conflict management. Second, regression analysis shows how interfirm interdependence structure can affect manufacturers' choice of different CMSs and CMS archetypes. Third, ANOVA results indicate that when addressing interfirm conflicts, the strong cooperative, strong competitive and strong cooperative-competitive CMS archetypes can help manufacturers get good relationship satisfaction with main suppliers. Regarding supplier opportunism, while both strong cooperative and strong competitive CMS archetypes are effective at restraining opportunism, the cooperative-competitive CMS archetype may trigger higher levels of supplier opportunism.Originality/valueThis study enriches the interfirm relationship management literature and provides insights for manufacturers to better address interfirm conflicts.
