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 – Most people taking those first tentative steps in the business world will have been urged to speculate to accumulate. Firms considering new ventures or alliances are similarly counseled. Many will testify that such advice is often invaluable. Others will tell different tales though. Dreams have ended in failure due to a wrong move, wrong market or wrong time. Or to some combination of these factors. Often it’s preparation that has left much to be desired. On the face of things, it would be difficult to accuse East Air India of not doing the necessary groundwork. The new carrier clearly aims to hit the ground running, as it prepares to enter the Indian airline industry. 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.

Indeed, many former managers are getting in on the act – see the success of some former coaches on the speaking circuit and even the increasing amount of work ex-Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been doing with Harvard Business School. It seems that there is a lucrative life after all when it is time to hang up the whistle and clipboard.

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 – Advocates of evolution theories contend that only the strong will ultimately survive. Similar sentiments might be applied to the business world. Globalization and the relentless onslaught of technological advances have for sure guaranteed that competition is arguably tougher than ever before. The bar has thus been raised considerably. And companies are under extreme pressure to innovate to survive, let alone prosper. The future is frequently bleak for those unable to tick the right boxes in this respect. It would be folly to include Cisco in that category. Since its inception in 1984, the company has gone from strength-to-strength and established itself as world leader in networking. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Findings – In the current business world, things seldom remain the same for long. Globalization and relentless technological development ensure that change is both inevitable and ongoing. As a result, the only real predictable aspect of the future is its unpredictability. The uncertainty inherent in drastic change is the source of both risk and opportunity alike. How to minimize the former and fully exploit the latter is a burning issue facing organizations today. Finding ways to effectively manage uncertainty is therefore likely to be high on the agenda for most leaders. Those with the capacity to engage in strategic foresight are arguably best positioned to meet the challenges facing them.

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 The problem with developing a reputation of being something of an oracle in the business world is that all of a sudden, everyone expects you to pull off the trick of interpreting the future on a daily basis. Like a freak show circus act or one-hit wonder pop singer, people expect you to perform when they see you, and they expect you to perform the thing that made you famous, even if it is the one thing in the world you don’t want to do. And when you fail to deliver on these heightened expectations, you are dismissed as a one trick pony, however good that trick is in the first place.
