“…In this context, Hennekam et al (2017) show three strategies to deal with the perceived clash: forcing a Western approach upon the local country, a reframing strategy where existing policies are reformulated to fit the Western requirements, and a sensitive approach in which the local context is considered, which suggests that organisations have to adapt diversity policies to local cultural factors of the country in which they operate. This is also because attitudes towards diversity are changing and evolving in the light of the changing environment and cultural context and that other cultural factors also play an important role (Hennekam and Tahssain-Gay, 2015).…”

The present work reviews media effects studies featuring immigrants, racial/ethnic minorities, and LGBTQ people (i.e., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people) that constitute sexual minorities.…”

“…However, it has been argued that a US‐centric approach may not hold well for diversity management in other national contexts due to differences in socio‐economic conditions, national legislation, culture, demography and history (Klarsfeld et al, ; Sawyer and Thoroughgood, ). More precisely, Hennekam and Tahssain‐Gay () studied HR managers working for multinational companies (MNCs) in Morocco and identified a ‘clash’ that they have to deal with: the perceived incompatibility between the diversity policies designed in the West and the local realities in a different national culture. The present article further develops this scholarship by examining how managers deal with diversity policies when the Western approach and the local context are perceived as being incompatible.…”
