27/6/2022 0 Comments Hybrid working cultureCountries worldwide have started relaxing and dropping the restrictions that were implemented in an effort to manage the catastrophic spread of COVID-19. With this being the case, most industries and organisations view this move as a green light to return to "normalcy". This green light has recently sparked the "return to the office" saga, which has been a hot and contagious discussion between employers and employees.
16/6/2022 0 Comments Strategic ManagementMany times, strategic planning fails because even though the actual plan is complete, there's little or no follow up to ensure that the plan is executed.

Apple went into a decade-long downward spiral after CEO Steve Jobs left the company in 1985 and lower-priced products from competitors, like Microsoft Windows, took over the personal computer market.

The company was able to turn itself around with a successful rebrand and new technology like the first iMac.
