Common and conflicting interests
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 Learning within an organization is assumed to benefit when member values, beliefs and interests are aligned with those of the firm. This is invariably the dominant mode of learning but situations where conflicts of interest arise can also inspire learning to occur. 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.
