The introduction of individuals into the industry that are moreinclined to act collaboratively could act as a catalyst for change.Purpose of the StudyGender diversity has been connected to increased profits across multiple industries.8 Thesefindings have led to the creation of the value-in-diversity perspective, which contends that adiverse workforce has a distinct benefit to business.8 However, these benefits are not limited toincreased earnings.8 For example, there is evidence that the inclusion of women in CM maydecrease conflict and increase collaboration. Brahnam, et al.’s study suggests that women maypossess more effective conflict resolution attributes than their male

Furthermore, using thisprofile analysis allowed for new patterns to emerge that would have been previouslyoverlooked. For example, if two groups of respondents were distinct from each other in theattitudinal map but were similar along all measured axes of diversity (e.g., gender andrace/ethnicity), it is a signal that the separation between the groups is the result of anintersection with some unconsidered dimension(s) of attitudes or personal characteristics.Because TDA does not presuppose the qualitative or demographic information about thestudents it analyzes, the

It is important toknow what kind of information needs to be collected at the time of such research. Since the fieldis full of stories and actions, one can easily become lost in the scenario, hence having a biggerpicture and focusing on the specific research question(s) is a very important component of thefield study2.
