Purpose
This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
The stereotypical image of a new start-up has probably been driven either by pictures in Wired magazine – where they are super-cool, achingly on-trend lofts with huge open spaces and juicing machines – or by the US sitcom Silicon Valley where young men are sat in some guy’s kitchen fighting over the least rancid mug for a cup of instant coffee. There is a happy medium, and it is a very large place as almost no start-up is like this, and they are like almost everything else. They are probably like the very office you work in every single day.
Practical implications
The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
