Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.Design/methodology/approachThis briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.FindingsTraining and development is widely recognized as a critical factor in organizational success. It is thus normal for organizations to invest substantially in the quest to extract maximum value from the talent they have at their disposal. To this end, most firms will use an array of different learning techniques. However, wise operators will also be on the lookout for original approaches that could help give them an advantage over the competition. Perhaps, situational judgment tests (SJTs) might fit the bill in this respect. Evidence confirms that SJTs are proven for such as personnel selection and organizational psychology. In the context of training though, the methodology remains under-explored by comparison. This is despite their use as an assessment tool prior to training or afterwards.Practical implicationsThe paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.Originality/valueThe 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.
