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 – This paper examines gender issues in management by looking at perceptions of male and female bosses. Italian masters students were presented with the case of a fictitious company in which some respondents believed the CEO to be a man, others that she was a woman. Some surprising results emerge as a result of the students’ differing, gender-oriented perceptions. 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.
