Swimming against the tide: Finding the silver lining in the financial crisis cloud

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review 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

If one thing has grown since the advent of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), it has been the market for analysis into explaining what exactly went wrong. While this kind of analysis was notable by its absence prior to 2007, since then every economist, management theorist and business journalist have had their say on what triggered the crisis, why it has lingered and what could happen in the future.

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.
