Abstract

Purpose

Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints 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

There are lots of people out there still young enough to be an essential part of the workforce but old enough to need more careful handling and explanation when it comes to the intricacies and possibilities of the e‐revolution. Many of them, in fact, are the very people who have to choose the e‐learning solutions their organizations need or at least the ones who have to “ok” their procurement.

Practical implications

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.
