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 – It is commonly accepted in many European countries that equality between men and women is generally “a good thing”. So much so that governments have passed legislation placing a duty on public sector bodies to explain what they are doing to actively promote equality. So far, so good. Except that in practice, there still appears to be quite a gap between national policy development and local implementation. 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.

Public Sector Entrepreneurship

Purpose of this paper 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 For many, the idea of public sector entrepreneurship will seem something of an oxymoron. The public sector, particularly in many developed countries, often suffers from a series of drab stereotypes – that everything within its institutions moves at a glacial pace, that any progress is stymied by labyrinthine bureaucracies, and that both of these factors work together to hold back creative thinking or agile solutions. In short, if you were to design a mechanism that would prevent entrepreneurship from flourishing, it would be something very much akin to this nightmare vision of the public sector. Practical implications Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. What is original/value of paper?

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 own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This review gives not only a frightening but also helpful insight into the future of work in the public sector. While a solution presents itself so easily, the way forwards toward it must be regarded with trepidation, as if calls to increase youth employment through additional workers being drawn to the aged healthcare sector are unsuccessful, there will be a very bleak future indeed for those at both ends of the employment spectrum. 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 the very best and most pertinent information and by presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
