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 A study by researchers from two American universities found that undergraduates’ gender was a significant factor in predicting aspirations to top management. The analysis showed that women’s aspirations were lower than men’s and declined during the 21st century, whereas men’s did not. 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.
