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
War destroyed a lot of positive features of the Syrian society and forced a large number of elite managers to leave the country, making it imperative to study the local characteristics that affect post-war managerial culture. The findings revealed that the challenges included big egos, technological hurdles, financial constraints, instability, and the different expectations of new and old staff. Future trends included a need to develop collective leadership, designing programs to teach technology literacy for all ages, a greater focus on self-learning, and also a requirement to devise courses for managers and leaders at all levels of the company.
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.
