Abstract

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

Technology has enabled many new ways of learning. One example is Quick Response (QR) codes in which information is encoded and stored for quick access when needed. This methodology has considerable scope to enhance mobile learning because of its just-in-time characteristic. Learners can more readily find appropriate information that is presented in a concise format. However, successful implementation of QR codes requires users to have access to a capable mobile device that is equipped with an up-to-date operating system and a camera. This will aid the scanning process as will a fast and reliable internet connection.

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.
