Lost in Translation

The Making of Danish Diversity Management

Eva Boxenbaum

Copenhagen Business School

This article investigates how a group of Danish business actors translated the American practice of diversity management into a novel managerial practice in Denmark. Their translation process unfolded at three levels: (a) individual preference, (b) strategic reframing, and (c) local grounding. The findings contribute to a better understanding of translation processes and have implications for future research and managerial practice.

Key Words: management • managerial practices • translation • diversity management • Denmark
