At its heart, the ladder is derived from inflexible, hierarchical, organization models in which prestige, individual rewards, information flow, power and influence are tied to the rung each employee occupies. Yet the workplace as we know it is in transition – evolving away from the linear, one-size-fits-all model of the corporate ladder...

When deciding to buy, consumers judge an offering's (and a company's) authenticity as much as—if...

The growth in private labels has huge implications for managers on both...
