The shock factor : Changing management perspectives using shock as a catalyst for reconsideration

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 Managers in firms fear for their own social and firm standing, and are therefore less able to change direction or admit mistakes unless shocked out of their intransience. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists 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.
