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

What is the least glamorous role within the modern organization? Accountants are usually the butt of jokes about boring jobs and even more boring people who count the pennies. Receptionists also receive their fair share of flak, as does anyone working in office services or in a call center. However, one job above all others seems to garner more than its fair share of negative comments, and it is the position of the helpless training and development officer.

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.
