What is interesting to note is that there is a trend in many of these studies. In order to achieve benefits, [u]a lot of active management was required to deal with different communication styles and intergroup conflicts[/u]. In other words, [i]when management was hands off, mixed groups did not show increased performance[/i]. One study in particular surprised me. It seemed to find that more diverse teams came up with fewer ideas, than non diverse teams, but there was no difference in terms of the quality of the ideas. Of course many of these studies are contradicted by other studies showing benefits. Hence why I say they're mixed.

FWIW, if the study results range from "no real difference" to "possible benefits", then the prudent thing would be to increase diversity because there isn't an obvious downside but there is a possible upside. I haven't read your links, though ,so perhaps I'm over-simplifying. At the end of the day, it's Google's call, not mine.[/quote]
