Understanding the HR inbetweeners
Purpose The purpose of this paper is 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 It is perhaps unwise to equate the internal workings of political parties to corporations, but aside from sport and TV, there are a precious few bodies that we can publicly ogle at and discuss, aside from the organizations we ourselves work for. Poking our nose into what makes certain firms tick – and what makes them a disaster scene – is one of the vicarious pleasures we can all enjoy at other people’s expense without feeling too guilty. And more importantly, there can be a lot to learn. Practical implications This 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.
