The Society, historically, has always defined itself in terms of Traditional principles -- essentially those established by Pope Pius X, for whom the Society takes its name. But this re-orientation, which focuses on integration with the modern Church and its doctrine, does not correlate with the directives management has embodied for a number of years.

Organizational Behaviour Organizational behavior -- globalization and diversity Diversity is becoming more present within the contemporaneous business climates and it is necessary that economic agents devise and implement the most adequate strategies in responding to the challenges of diversity.
