description 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 Mention the use of social media to some human resource management professionals, and from many you will hear dark mutterings of “distractions” and “waste of time”. Many people believe that while social media – or Web 2.0 as some describe it – offers opportunities for free advertising, promotion and customer engagement, it also allows employees to enter into non-productive activities online that contribute little to nothing to the bottom line. 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.
