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
Bullying – it has been an unfortunate piece of the workplace jigsaw ever since workplaces began to exist centuries ago. While acts of bullying may have lessened in violence since medieval times – not so many beheadings these days; fewer drownings of recalcitrant employees – they have developed in their complexity. Partly this is down to advances in human experience, but a lot of this is down to how communications have evolved. Perhaps at a much greater pace than the humans that work them.
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.
