Findings Call them what you want – millennials, Generation Y, the millennial generation – but they are causing established firms and industries huge headaches. The generation that was born in the 1980s and 1990s does not conform to earlier norms, and a failure to understand the shifts that have taken place can have devastating consequences for firms. In particular, the expectations they have around flexibility, support of work–life balance, and corporate social responsibility are far in excess of their forebears, and these expectations are having a huge impact on recruitment and retention of this generation.

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 Whilst Eastern philosophy, and in particular, Taoism, offers rich depths for academic study, it rarely figures in the world of business in the West. Yet the work of Fish and Wood (2017) suggests that much can be learned from Taoism and adopted into Western business practices in the pursuit of balance and harmony. Current Western practices revolve around strong key leadership teams that seek competitive advantage to the detriment of their corporate social responsibility. With the focus forever on winning to the disadvantage of the competition, there are increasing instances where a lose/lose eventuality has arisen where it could have been avoided. In recent cases, the lose/lose outcome has financially hurt companies, as well as instigating legal and criminal investigations. Yet there is reason to believe that the principles of Taoism could help mediate situations, allowing a win/win outcome to be achieved. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
