Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is 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

When the twentieth century began, most observers were under no illusions about the growing economic power of the US. They understood that it would eventually overshadow Britain and the other leading west European nations. There seems to be a similar inevitability about the growing power of China; the likelihood is that, well before the end of this century, it will have superseded the US as the world's strongest economy.

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.
