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

The concept of globalization has been much debated by academics, business leaders, and politicians alike for decades now, as the 1990s and 2000s in particular have seen this activity escalate. It has gone from something larger companies adopted to gain a competitive advantage to being a core competency and ultimately almost a hygiene factor for even small- to medium-sized enterprises. The belief all along has been that it enabled firms to cut costs and help innovate by using specialist offshoring partners, but lately these assumptions have started to be questioned.

Practical implications

This 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.
