Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of the paper is 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
Could the following proposition be true: the net effect of change programs is often miscalculated because they come from the point of view of managers, rather than the employees implementing the change. After all, the effect will be judged on increases in productivity, efficiency, outputs and ultimately the bottom line. These may well be positive, but could they be even better if the effect on employees has been taken into account and acted on?
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.
