Tales My Grandma Told Me
A Business Diversity Fable
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the official website for Tales My Grandma Told Me - A Business Diversity Fable. Tom Friedman tells us that the world is flat. The world is also increasingly diverse. Recent United States Census Bureau statistics show that the nation’s minority population has surpassed 100 million and now accounts for one in three U.S. residents. Minority-owned businesses are also growing - at four times the rate of the general population. This represents a major opportunity and challenge. Minority population growth triggers significant opportunities for all businesses that see the enormous potential within those markets. Minority-owned businesses will naturally service their own communities, but can mainline corporations ignore them? The answer is no if those companies hope to thrive in the decades ahead.
As minority-owned businesses surge and mainline corporations adapt to changing demographics at home and abroad, what are the rules of the game? Tales My Grandma Told Me answers these questions and more. It sets forth an inspiring tale and practical help for all engaged in or touched by the world of minority business. It is my hope that this book will motivate you to your next level of excellence.
To your success,
