Sears tell it their way: A cautionary tale of claims of corporate transformation

Abstract

Purpose

Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints 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

Storytelling is as old as language itself. History teaches us “to the victor the spoils”, the spoils including the writing of history itself – the despot in one version of the saga is the courageous leader of the alternate view.

Practical implications

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.
