Organizations often discuss the benefits of diversity; however, in many instances, these organizations simply hire a more diverse workforce and then expect the benefits to follow.
Based on this week’s readings and your own professional experience, respond to the prompts below:
· What is the difference between hiring for diversity and leveraging diversity?
· In what ways, if any, does your organization leverage the diversity within its workforce?
· Does the leadership in your workplace understand the importance of equity and inclusion? Provide an example to support your position.
· What changes would you recommend to improve the benefits gained through diversity and equity in your workplace?

Income Statement Analysis
The discussion questions for Weeks 2 – 4 are designed to help teach you to derive meaning from financial statements. Each week you will select a line item and use Variance Trend Analysis and Ratio Analysis to make some initial assessments about how the company is performing. Collectively, as a class we will seek to find the “story behind the numbers.” Let’s start applying what you have learned to a real-life  Income Statement .

· Royal Caribbean Group

2. Pick an Income Statement Line Item  and a Ratio from the list below:

3. What do this line item and ratio measure and why is it important item for Management to understand thesenumbers?
4. Identify the past 4 years of amounts for your line item and ratio ( Note: this will require you to track down additional historical Income Statements to get the older data). Share this data with the class using a data table or chart.
5. Answer the following questions:
. What are the trends for this line item and ratio?
. Have the line item and ratio amounts increased or decreased?
