Tóm tắt

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.FindingsHeightened competition is one of the more notable consequences of globalization. Powerhouse nations and emerging economies alike are thus urgently seeking to find new avenues for growth. Not surprisingly, next‐generation industries are placed under the microscope. Countries believe that taking the high‐tech route offers a genuine opportunity to secure or sustain a competitive edge. It is critically important to have a highly skilled workforce in place if such goals are to be realized. Certain nations invest to develop talent at home, whereas others look overseas for the right personnel. Some put their eggs in both of these baskets. This perception of technology as a key growth driver has also inspired a philosophy change in certain economies. Korea, for instance. Instead of following in the wake of technology leaders, it is adopting a more proactive strategy as a means to be at the forefront of development and ahead of China and other rival emerging economies.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.
