Human resource management and innovation in SMEs

Abstract

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 This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings The results indicate that the logic of giving has three stages: freeing up gifts, mobilizing gifts and rethinking gifts. The results also indicate that employees need to be central to the innovation from the beginnings of such projects. Originality The briefing saves busy executives, strategists 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. Comment The review is based on “Human resource management and innovation in SMEs” by Ludivine Adla, Virginia Gallego-Roquelaure and Ludivine Calamel, published in Development and Learning in Organizations: An International Journal.
