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

There is no doubt that e‐learning is more than just a passing fad or phase. In fact, a recent article in Training Journal described how, at a seminar for learning professionals, the author asked the audience of 150 people who had tried an e‐learning initiative. A total of 100 percent raised their hands although just 10 percent claimed to be happy with it. Yet despite this lack of satisfaction, 75 percent of the audience said that they would do it again.

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.
