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

“Postpone! In the name of fashion!” does not quite have the same ring to it as the song title “Stop! In the name of love!” How about “No, no, no, don't throw my dress away!” Not as memorable as “Don't throw my love away!” All silliness aside, fashion and music are two industries that have much in common. They both have a strong association with lifestyle, particularly in terms of what is currently “cool” or “in vogue.” Both fashion and music are related to youth culture, where what is popular today can be considered decidedly uncool tomorrow without any obvious reason. While the music industry may have a greater ability to adapt to rapidly changing fashions in songs, for the garment industry, matching supply to demand is not as simple.

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.
