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

Developing individual relationships to drive multilateral, open communication, has the greatest power to connect all levels of an organization to a unifying strategy. This should be a primary consideration in both the due diligence and implementation stages of a cross-border merger/acquisition to ensure a successful transition. The organization considering/executing the merger/acquisition should look inward first, to its own practices, to make necessary adjustments and establish a foundation for integration.

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.
