This is knowledge – pass it on! Figuring out how to spread the expertise
Abstract
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 their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
Think of babies and you might think of cuddly, loveable, adorable and quite possibly noisy, smelly little creatures. They are also amazing “students” – observing what is going on around them, watching listening, touching, testing, tasting, assessing. When it comes to learning and honing new skills, acquiring essential new information, adapting to new experiences and preparing for difficult challenges ahead, adults can only look on in wonder at what babies can achieve in a short time.
Practical implications
The 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.
