"Scholars in the fields of Feminist studies and diversity research have argued that social homogeneity of top management (majority of upper class white men), is an important cause for, not only a consequence of, social exclusion in modern organization. The article takes up on the argument of social homogeneity accounting for cultural hegemony in institutions, with an attempt to Show the use of Pierre Bourdieu's approaches to social inequality and symbolic domination. Bourdieu has only recently been 'discovered' by organization studies, explaining for the range of open theoretical questions as well as the lack of comprehensive empirical research. This said, the article still attempts to demonstrate how Bourdieusian concepts such as social distinction, organization field, capital, habitus and symbolic violence already now add to our understanding of exclusion in modern organization."
