Doing the knowledge
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 We are in a post-truth era. Should we trust that statement, or toss it into the social media morass with so many other throwaway lines? Surely that depends on who says it, what they say it about and the context of why they are saying it. If this correspondent makes that statement merely to grab the reader’s attention and fails to explain anything about it, then perhaps the latter course of action is most appropriate. But if there follows something meaningful that will help explain why it is to be believed and how this will help a firm’s corporate strategy with relation to risk and knowledge, then the reader will be glad they stuck with it. 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.
