Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings More than ever before, current organizations see knowledge as the key to success. The emphasis on effective knowledge management (KM) has increased accordingly. However, the ubiquitous nature of data available to firms means that conventional KM tools are largely incapable of coping with such an information overload. Big data text analytics offers considerably greater scope in this respect. Its tools and technologies can enable businesses to extract important information from masses of structured and unstructured data and convert the information into explicit knowledge that can be absorbed and exploited to help secure a competitive advantage. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

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 his/her own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Learning to work safely in a dangerous workplace requires explicit knowledge, such as identifying safety symbols and following correct procedures. However, it also involves personal ideologies and instincts. Risky situations require collective working, and so individuals must share knowledge and responsibility and converge their subjectivities. A social-cultural workplace requires good communication and space to allow for interaction and knowledge transfer and for a common frame of reference to develop. Good leadership and guidance support a safety culture within the workplace.

Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Ever since the 1990s, when the term was first coined, Big Data has become a Holy Grail for many firms, even when they do not quite understand what it actually means. One can imagine many a CEO turning to their CTO to inquire how their firm can take advantage of “this Big Data thing” as if it was an enormous well of oil just waiting to be sucked up and sold for a huge price. In addition, one can also imagine the weary look on the face of the CTO as they try and explain it may not quite be as easy as it sounds.

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 – Developments affecting the business world have prompted many organizations to increase the number of executives in their ranks. The growing significance of social media platforms and big data are examples which have given rise to new corporate positions. Titles afforded to these executives often reflect the level of importance ascribed to the functions they represent. But such appointments are typically not an option for smaller operators. Resources are limited in most cases. Having multiple corporate officers is therefore out of the question. It is simply not affordable. Tough decisions must therefore be made by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). 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.

Purpose Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints 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 problem with developing a reputation of being something of an oracle in the business world is that all of a sudden, everyone expects you to pull off the trick of interpreting the future on a daily basis. Like a freak show circus act or one-hit wonder pop singer, people expect you to perform when they see you, and they expect you to perform the thing that made you famous, even if it is the one thing in the world you don’t want to do. And when you fail to deliver on these heightened expectations, you are dismissed as a one trick pony, however good that trick is in the first place.
