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

In cold psychology, the “nature versus nurture” debate has raged for decades, or perhaps even longer under different guises. Do children learn and develop behaviors because of how they were brought up or is it down to genes, pure and simple? As usual, the right answer includes aspects of both theories, but it is more than that. It is immeasurable – and that always presents a problem for scientists seeking the truth and only finding mystery and unknowns.

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.
