Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds his/her own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

The situation is that of a corner shop in Northern England run by a cantankerous middle aged man with a pronounced stutter, who variously abuses, gossips about or tries to flatter his customers. Inventory is massive, point of sale technology primitive, and as the title suggests, opening hours are long. Hilarity ensues.

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 – Since the Millennium, one of the key trends in European food retailing has seen the rise and fall of major supermarket chains. While still immensely profitable and successful, the likes of Tesco and Carrefour have been unable to replicate early huge gains in this period as smaller, cheaper and more nimble retailers have begun to steal market share. In particular, the UK has seen two classic market phenomena with the rise of Tesco as the biggest retailer sweeping all before, only for a combination of changing buying habits and increased popularity of discount retailers to decimate the market share growth of Tesco and other major operators in the “squeezed middle”. Practical implications – 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.

Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Say what you like about the dictatorial bosses of the Industrial Revolution in the UK, but they did not have to manage the myriad of working options open to the employees of today. Remote working, flexible hours, compressed hours, carer’s leave, and duvet days – you can imagine the ruddy faces the early industrial pioneers would have got, even ruddier if presented with a request from a man seeking to take nine months’ parental leave in place of their partner. As for people wanting to work just a few hours a week to enable them to follow a certain lifestyle or to have more than one job – no, their stove pipe hats would have been thrown to the ground in sheer exasperation.

Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings When it comes to innovation, the common perception of the kinds of innovation that are effective are often way out of line with what actually creates value for firms. Take the service sector – despite its huge size and domination of mature economies such as the UK, innovation will not be regarded as important outside of web design or digital development. However, there are so many ways in which true innovation can disrupt, revolutionize or create an entire new market in ways that does not involve tech teams at all.

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 When the Combination Laws were passed in the UK at the end of the eighteenth century, it was a reaction to both the reliance new industrialists had on their massed ranks of workers and representative of the fear the nouveau riche had that those people might rise up against their peers and overthrow their new empires. Parallels were evident in the problems the British Empire had in establishing its rule of law in some of its territories. And whether the fear was real or imagined, it made sense for the C-suites of the day to keep the great unwashed in check to protect their bottom lines. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Purpose of this paper 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 There are relatively minor disagreements such as whether to put milk in cups before or after the hot tea (answer: before). There are more serious disagreements such as Brexit, which has split the UK down the middle. But when it comes to sheer, visceral, instantaneous vitriol, nothing comes close to the reaction people have when someone turns the air conditioning up or down in an open plan office. One can predict that while one half of the room are eternally grateful for the “blessed relief”, the other half will turn apoplectic with anger at the worsening conditions. There rarely seems to be a happy medium. Practical implications Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. What is original/value of paper? 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.
