TY - JOUR AB - Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds his/her own impartial comments and places the articles in context.Findings In the UK, there is somewhat of an in-joke when people are asked about the culture of a firm. This often difficult and complex question can be met in that country with a wry smile and the refrain, “it’s the way things are done around here.” The joke is that defining a culture is both highly problematic and extremely easy. The message is: just stay around here for a while, and you will soon learn what the culture is like.Practical implications This paper 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.
