Furthermore, these traits positively facilitate HR practice implementation. Specifically innovation-focused HR practices were found to boost innovative capability by fifty percent more than generic HR practices alone.

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 One of the more light-hearted interpretations of how to define organizational culture is to simply say. “It’s the way we do things around here”. This is illuminating and frustrating in equal measure, as while it does contain a kernel of truth - understanding how and why people take the positions and actions they do is central to the question of culture – it is also rather glib and is simply true of everywhere you might ask that question. It also points to a certain wariness and even defiance on behalf of the people answering the question in such a way, as if to challenge the newcomer into accepting how their world operates, and that it is never going to change. Practical implications This 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 their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper concentrates on the relationship between the number of success stories an employee receives and that employee's performance, which the results reveal isn't linear since the effect of such stories is impacted by the level of complexity of the employee's task. Hearing increasingly more success stories improves the recent simple task performance of high and low performing employees, but average performers benefit most from exposure to a small collection of stories. For complex tasks a limited number of success stories yield the best employee performance, as this avoids information overload. 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.
