Management
Simple words, yet systematic research – that is what sets our marketing, finance, operations and management case studies apart. Targeted at non-experts, our cases explain state-of-the-art management concepts to readers who probably specialize in other fields. For example, by explaining finance to the marketing expert or operations to the accountant, we help expand their knowledge base and prepare them for new challenges as their careers progress.
What should I do next?
This case study provided readers with an overview on the issues of time management and a toolbox for improved productivity. The research covered thinkers such as Stephen Covey, Ken Blanchard and Mark Forster. Among other tools, the case highlighted matrices structured along the dimensions of task urgency, task attractiveness, and task importance which allow managers to fight the first two temptations and focus on importance.
Learning to say no
In this case study, we scrutinized when and how subordinates at all levels can say No to their manager. Research based on management titles showed that a No presented on grounds of productivity and in a positive manner would serve all concerned. A well-organized person is in a better position to justify a refusal in the name of productivity so we proposed a test allowing readers to measure their degree of self-organization.
Learning in the 21st Century
This management case study on e-learning illustrated how companies are moving away from instructor-led training to electronic e-learning. Efficiency and cost savings help explain the reasons behind the shift. This case provided a bird's eye view of the e-learning tools and categories, making it relevant for managers of all sectors.
