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

The purpose of the study was to examine whether gender bias affects networking for females in Cyprus. The picture that emerged from the interviews confirmed Socratous’ feeling that Cypriot cultural norms were a barrier to female networking. Both the male and female participants came up with similar analysis of the problem. The author said that the study was important for companies in Cyprus that might be failing to promote the best people to higher positions.

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.
