From organization to enterprise: Leadership for a rapidly changing world

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

John F. Kennedy once claimed that “leadership and learning are indispensable to each other”. In a world that seemingly refuses to stand still, the sentiments of the former US President have never been more apt. Because as change invariably brings new challenges, organizations lacking the knowledge to respond may soon find themselves left behind. So how can companies prosper amid the complexity and uncertainty that characterize the twenty‐first century business world? A key factor may be the definition of the organization itself.

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.
