A little more conversation: Embedding action learning in a learning institution

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

Once a news story disappears from view it tends to fade in the memory, as new stories demand attention. So too, it seems in management. The publishing industry demands new concepts, new themes, and new approaches. A worry that festers is that only the new is embraced. So what about the not so new? What becomes of the tried and tested that still works just fine?

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.
