Abstract
In this article we propose a theoretical model of the dynamics underly ing the experiences of women and people of color in demographically di verse decision-making groups. Based upon the framework provided by the model we then describe the different roles women and people of color may experience in these groups, and we examine the dynamics by which t heir roles may change over time. Finally, we discuss implications for future research and management practice.
