Abstract
Although diversity management and corporate social responsibility share some similarities, their similarities and differences have rarely been discussed. The chapter provides a systematic comparison between diversity management and corporate social responsibility as managerial concepts. It outlines their respective origins as well as societal drivers. Deriving from mostly German companies, general ways of implementation and common instruments are described. Furthermore, difficulties of measuring the benefits of CSR and diversity management are discussed. The chapter concludes with thoughts on the relation between corporate social responsibility and diversity management focusing on possible areas of conflict and synergies.
