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 article in context. Findings – The perception of learning has changed significantly in recent times. So much so that the concept of a classroom in which students sit in rows and take instruction from a teacher standing at the front is now something of an anachronism. The penny has dropped and educators realize that there are many different preferred learning styles. Informality is a buzzword and the focus has shifted to creating learning environments to meet this diversity of student needs. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations. Social implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that can have a broader social impact. 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.
