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
It is commonly accepted in many European countries that equality between men and women is generally “a good thing”. So much so that governments have passed legislation placing a duty on public sector bodies to explain what they are doing to actively promote equality. So far, so good. Except that in practice, there still appears to be quite a gap between national policy development and local implementation.
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.
