Purpose

Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

Scans the top 400 management publications in the world to identify the most topical issues and latest concepts. These are presented in an easy‐to‐digest briefing of no more than 1,500 words.

Findings

Back in the early 1600s, dramatist William Shakespeare coined the immortal phrase “to be or not to be” during a famous scene in which his character, Hamlet, was contemplating taking his own life. Many of today's business leaders perhaps imagine that they often feel some empathy with Shakespeare's troubled prince. Fortunately for them, however, it is not normally suicide under consideration but issues such as whether or not to outsource some of their human resource (HR) functions.

Practical implications

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.
