Can GM, Chrysler and VW fight back? Searching for the road marked recovery

Abstract

Purpose

Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

Scans the top 400 management publications in the world to identify the most topical issues and latest concepts. These are presented in an easy‐to‐digest briefing of no more than 1,500 words.

Findings

Back in the mid‐1900s, US financier Warren Buffett said that the rearview mirror provides a clearer picture of the business world than does the windshield. No one can argue with that. However, it is what you do about the picture that counts. Those who learn from the past can look forward to a brighter road ahead.

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.
