Contemporary organizations pursue diversity for many reasons – e.g., economic, ethical, regulatory, legal, and social. Ideally an organization’s human diversity matches its strategic goals.

This paper argues that Modigliani’s theory of diversity in investments might provide a model for managing an organization’s human diversity and reducing its business risks.
