Tóm tắt

PurposeThe paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints 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.FindingsThe paper finds that one person's optimist is another's naïve fool. As revolutions go the outcomes of the e‐learning revolution have been somewhat unspectacular. Expectations were high. They have not been met. Many will have noticed that walls did not, in fact, come tumbling down. Yet there are some signs of health for those who are patient enough to look for them. Spending on e‐learning is increasing, and within a context of overall increases on spending on learning, still doing particularly well. There is some pretty poor stuff to be bought by the unwary purchaser. Convergence within a consolidating industry, however, means that for the not‐overly‐optimistic benefits results are being achieved.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.
