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 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. 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 This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints the 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 is often a disconnect between science and business that is hard to fathom. Sometimes, of course, it is easy to see why two parties can seem so far apart – the scientist in search of truth and uninterested in any practical or commercial use of an invention – the industrialist who is dedicated to one course of action and unwilling to learn from research, which can prove it is the wrong one. Both people are as guilty as each other of missing what is staring them in the face. And yet, this dogged pursuit of a single goal is what represents them and perhaps enables them to more successful than other at what they choose to do.

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 If we believe everything we see in the movies, then crisis management comes in three different guises. Firstly, there is full-blown meltdown – sweating brow, fidgety, screaming at anyone foolish enough to come near. Secondly, there is catatonic indecision – unspeaking, terror-stricken, unable to move a muscle in the face of the enormity of what they are being asked to do. Finally, there is the heroic response – ice cool, measured, calm, and ultimately saving the day for all concerned.

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 – Customers are often satisfied with a service or product when it falls short of the value or quality they can find from another firm which is in the same business. On the face of it that might sound, to fall back on a currently over-used word, counter-intuitive. However, it is not. The highly successful UK supermarkets Aldi, which focusses on a more basic value for money shopping “experience”, and posh Waitrose could hardly be considered rivals in the way that Sainsbury and Tesco are. They operate fundamentally in the same sphere without having to worry too much about one another. The satisfied customers at Aldi and Waitrose have very different expectations from one another. 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.

Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Blending global and regional planning is important for multinationals. Within a central framework, local offices should have input. Different regions will approach this in different ways, but regional planning needs to be in-synch with central planning cycles.

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 innovator’s dilemma is a relatively new story, although it seems to have been around in decades. The dilemma relates to established firms who cannot decide whether to “stick or twist” in their strategy. If they stay with their current offering, they will gradually lose market share or could quickly be overturned by a fast-paced competitor; if they invest in change, they will lose their profitable existence with no guarantee of success. 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.

Findings – Cooking is big business right now. Television cooking shows are highly popular and this in turn is generating interest in cooking as a pastime. As a result, many professional chefs are becoming celebrities, endorsing products and publishing books. Less obvious is their role as the leader of a team and the driving force behind the development of apprentice chefs. They set the pace and direction of learning in the kitchen and have an important role as a coach and facilitator. 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.
