Why Motorola could be poised for revival: Effective leadership the key

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

Irish stand‐up comedian Frank Carson used to claim that his jokes were funniest because of the way he told them. It's a similar story in business where strategies, like jokes, are rarely unique. And while originality can obviously pay rich dividends, competitive advantage often goes to the companies able to execute proven strategies more effectively than others. As a result, success will almost certainly depend on the quality of leadership at an organization's disposal.

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.
