Local heroes?
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 – It is a cliche that refuses to die – the only way for remote communities such as islands to develop and flourish they have to embrace tourism. There are two main problems with this thesis, however. Firstly, it does a huge disservice to the entrepreneurial spirit and potential of island populations, and secondly, it ignores the perils of unbridled, unsustainable commercial exploitation. Practical implications – 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.
