Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims 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

Is it possible that change for good can lead to changes for the bad? In the context of any organization, there are any number of change programs that are being implemented at a given time. These will tend to be for product or service development, enabling efficiencies or supporting expansion strategies. Programs can also be about changing organizational culture, and such people-centric change programs can be some of the very hardest to embed.

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.
