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
You live and learn, according to a saying that tends to suggest you learn by your mistakes. Of course you do, but there are other ways of learning. The ways in which we learn often conflict with each other; often complement each other and – even though it is somewhat surprising to learn – often complement and conflict at the same time.
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.
