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 new chief executive of a company which owned a string of local newspapers brought in a consultant to “streamline” the organization and “to make efficiencies” – in other words to cut costs. If his brief had been to ensure the long‐term viability of the business, he would have gone about it in a totally different way. Cutting costs is easy; ensuring those cuts don't irreparably damage the company is the hard part.

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.
