A Study report on High-Impact Succession Management

A Study report about High-Impact Succession Management

Introduction: Succession management has become an important talent management initiative at companies around the world. For some companies, succession management is a strategic process that minimizes leadership gaps for critical positions and provides opportunities for top talent to develop the skills necessary for future roles.

A Study on Scaling Up Corporate Social Investments in Education

A Study about Scaling Up Corporate Social Investments in Education

Scaling up good corporate social investment practices in developing countries is crucial to realizing the Education for All and Millennium Development Goals. Yet very few corporate social investments have the right mix of vision, financing, cross-sector engagement and leadership to come to scale. Globally, 67 million children are not enrolled in primary school, over 200 million are in school but not mastering basic skills such as reading, and many millions more complete post-primary education without the skills needed to participate in society or the local economy.

Case Study on Corporate Social Investments

Overcoming these challenges will require swift and bold action by many actors, including governments, multilateral organizations, donors and civil society. Corporations can use their core assets to generate shared value for business and society by helping get children into school, setting a strong learning agenda and scaling up what works in education. This policy paper looks at what works and what is not working in corporate efforts to further education in developing countries. Keep reading…

A Study on Identities and Professionalism

A Study about Identities and Professionalism

The chapter also explores the implications of the literature on perforation  the ‘new professionalism’ and a risk society for feminist practices in leadership. Keep reasding…

Introduction: Yahoo! manager Brad Garlinghouse issued a memo that directly challenged the senior management of the Internet giant. Leaked to the media as ‘The Peanut Butter Manifesto’, his memo accused Yahoo!’s leadership of lacking strategic direction.

A Case Study on Dixons

Case Study about Dixons

Dixon’s Retail, (which owns Currys and PC World) has, in common with the entire retail market, been suffering in a tough market.

A Case Study on Command and Control in the Uniformed Public Services

A Case Study about Command and Control in the Uniformed Public Services

Command and control is fundamental to the way in which the uniformed public services operate. It is the mechanism by which they perform their tasks. Situations can require immediate and decisive action. Those responsible for command and control must be prepared, trained and practised in the necessary skills. This unit will provide an insight into how this is achieved and give the learner opportunities to practise some of these skills.

Case Study on Uniformed Public Services

All of the uniformed public services have a chain of command, or management structure, with levels of command responsibilities identified by ranks or titles. Learners will compare ranks and responsibilities within the uniformed public services and see why, for example, it is important that an individual wears a badge of rank and that it is clearly visible. Learners will develop an appreciation of the leadership and teamworking principles that contribute to command and control. keep reading…
