Learning to love the “VUCA” world with Shell and Nokia
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 – There is a phenomenon that courses through the modern-day business that can be hard for many academics to fathom, namely, the penchant of jumping into a new management fad without the slightest clue as to whether it will actually improve a business. It is illogical in the manner of Doctor Spock trying to understand the sports fan’s undying love of a football team – why do not people just look at the facts so they will not be disappointed when things do not work out? 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.
