Economic migration is a significant and growing development around the world but has produced unequal outcomes and experiences for marginalized groups. To theoretically explain such inequalities, we argue that integration experiences of immigrants in the host country differ based on the privilege that their demographic category bestows on them (or not). We elucidate our arguments by unpacking the concept of ‘privilege’ to theorize two key sources of privilege—locational and historical—and explain them using the global economic divide (Global North vs. Global South) and local social divides (race and caste). We propose that locational and historical privilege manifest as various types of capital that immigrants carry into their host countries. We juxtapose these two sources of privilege and its levels (low vs. high) to develop a typology of immigrants—Marginalized, Peripheral, Assimilated, and Wanted—that captures differences in migrants’ integration experiences. By shining a light on the systematic differences between immigrants based on privilege, our research brings additional nuance to the scholarship on immigrant workers and inclusive organizations; and broadens avenues to make human resource practices more ethical by taking these differences into account.

Recognizing the potential contributions businesses can make to address the grand challenge of global poverty, management scholars have increasingly turned research attention to poverty. We conducted an integrative review of poverty studies in the organizational literature spanning from 1985 to 2022. Based on the review, we clarify poverty as a significant lack of market-oriented resources, opportunities, and capabilities. Further, we develop a framework that captures the ways in which organizational practices offer the poor, or deprive them of, resources, opportunities, and capabilities, and thereby contribute to poverty alleviation or aggravation respectively. Moreover, our framework identifies the necessary support conditions for an organization to effectively combat poverty. We conclude by proposing a research agenda aimed at advancing management scholarship on poverty.

The chapter investigates the potential of gamification as a tool for enhancing employees' well-being, inclusion, and equality in corporate environments. A systematic literature review was performed according to the PRISMA methodology, and 348 documents from the Scopus database and 262 from Web of Science were screened, resulting in 12 studies that met the criteria for inclusion. The results suggest that gamification can positively impact businesses by enhancing employee engagement, discussion, motivation, and performance, thus contributing to a more inclusive and equal work environment. Nonetheless, it highlights the need for more robust empirical research to validate the positive effects of gamification and guide its practical implementation in workplaces, also considering its relevance in pursuing the Sustainable Development Goals of 2030 Agenda, in particular SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.
