Welcome to “Revise and Resubmit” 🎙️✨—the show where dense journal articles loosen their ties, step out of the ivory tower, and sit down for a real conversation.

Today, we’re diving into a paper with a title that does exactly what good research should do: it makes you stop, think, and lean in a little closer. 🧐
It’s called:
“Seeing Both Sides: How Shared Experience Can Improve Entrepreneur Evaluations of Investors Through Perceived Empathy”
by Dana Kanze, published in Organization Science—yes, that Organization Science, a prestigious FT50 journal, brought to you by INFORMS. 🌍📊

Most of the venture funding story you hear sounds like this:
Investor judges entrepreneur.
Investor grills entrepreneur.
Investor chooses entrepreneur.
Full stop. 💼🔥

But this paper flips the camera. 🎥
It asks: What if the entrepreneur is also evaluating the investor?
Not just the term sheet, not just the valuation, but the human across the table.

In two powerful mixed-methods studies—one archival, one experimental—Kanze tracks hundreds of entrepreneurs and hundreds of investors and finds something simple, but profound:
When investors have shared entrepreneurial experience, founders are more likely to see them as empathetic.
And when founders feel that empathy—
not as a buzzword,
not as a branding line,
but as “this person actually gets how I think and how I feel”—
they rate those investors more favorably. 💡🤝

Under the hood, the paper teases apart two engines of empathy:
🧠 Cognitive perspective taking – understanding how the entrepreneur thinks.
💓 Affective perspective taking – understanding how the entrepreneur feels.

Kanze shows how these two forms of perspective taking help explain why shared entrepreneurial experience improves how founders evaluate investors. Add to that an important gender lens: women are less likely to move from entrepreneurship into investing, which means they may have fewer chances to benefit from these “relational upsides” that shared experience brings. 🚻⚖️

So tonight, as you listen, think about every pitch meeting you have ever seen or been part of.
Think about the biographies quietly shaping the conversation.
Think about how different the funding landscape might look if more investors had stood where founders stand,
felt what founders feel,
and carried those scars into the boardroom.

Because if empathy can be measured, modeled, and mediated…
💭 what might happen to the future of venture funding when founders start saying,
not just “Is this investor good for my cap table?”
but “Is this investor good for my nervous system?”

A huge thank you 🙏 to Dana Kanze, and to the publisher INFORMS, for this remarkable article in the prestigious FT50 journal Organization Science.

So as we turn the page and dive into the details, here’s the question to keep in mind:
🤔 If empathy is the bridge, how much shared experience does it really take for an investor to stand on the same side as the entrepreneur?

🎙️ Welcome to Revise and Resubmit — where boardrooms, numbers, and narratives collide in unexpected ways. 💼✨

Today’s episode zooms in on a quiet but seismic moment in corporate life: that instant when a board must choose its next chair. Not just any chair — the chair. The one who sets the tone, steers the agenda, and stands at the delicate intersection of oversight, power, and politics. 🧭🔥

We’re unpacking the article “Compromise Leadership: Competing Board Subgroups and the Appointment of a Newcomer Chair” by Robert Langan, Ryan Krause, and Markus Menz, published online on 17 November 2025 in the highly prestigious Journal of Management — a star player in the elite FT50 journal list and brought to us by SAGE Publications. 🏛️📚

This study digs into a puzzle: if firm-specific human capital is so critical for effective board leadership, why would a board hand the gavel to a newcomer? 🤔 The authors track 2,199 board chair appointments across S&P 1500 firms and reveal a fascinating dynamic — when the board fractures into powerful, opposing subgroups and no side can win, the answer is not “my candidate” or “your candidate” but a third option: a newcomer, a human peace treaty in a tailored suit. 🧩🕴️

Drawing on power circulation and faultline theories, the paper shows how divided boards use newcomer chairs as compromise leaders — and how this tendency shifts when firm performance is strong, stoking contestation, or when a powerful CEO can break the deadlock and tip the scales. In other words, leadership at the top is not just about experience; it is about fault lines, factions, and the fragile art of keeping the board table from cracking in two. ⚖️💬

So as you listen, here’s the question to keep in mind:
💡 When a newcomer becomes board chair, is it a bold bet on fresh leadership — or a silent signal that the board couldn’t agree on anything else?

🙏 A huge thanks to Robert Langan, Ryan Krause, and Markus Menz, and to SAGE Publications, for this insightful contribution in the prestigious FT50-listed Journal of Management.

🎙️ Welcome into another electrifying episode of "Revise and Resubmit," your go-to space for intellectual adventures and big thinkers! 📚 This is your "Weekend Classics" edition, where timeless insights and boundary-bending books come alive between your earbuds. Today, we're cracking open a book that's as mind-bending as it is monumental — "God & Golem, Inc.: A Comment on Certain Points where Cybernetics Impinges on Religion," written by none other than the legendary Norbert Wiener and published by The MIT Press.

Before we journey into the digital and the divine, let’s talk about the author who set the stage for all things cybernetic. Norbert Wiener was not just a mathematician at MIT — he was a true pioneer and the very father of cybernetics, the science of communication, control, and feedback in both machines and living things! From revolutionizing prediction theory during World War II to being honored with the National Medal of Science, Wiener’s life reads like an algorithm coded for genius.​

Now, "God & Golem, Inc." is no ordinary book review. This provocative classic dives into what it means for machines to learn, to reproduce themselves, and to edge into territory we once believed only the divine could enter. Imagine a computer that not only beats its inventor at checkers, but learns and evolves with each game, and then ask — where does machine end and man begin? 🤔 Can humanity’s gift for creation ever rival that of the creator himself? Wiener’s exploration is dazzling, cautionary, and loaded with ideas about ethics, automation, and the ever-blurring boundary between artificial and organic intelligence.

With examples that range from games and genetics to automata and morality, Wiener invites us into an ethical whirlwind: Should we fear the golem we've brought to life? Or are we learning to become creators in our own right, echoes of myth and machine blending together? 🌟

Huge thanks to Norbert Wiener, even posthumously, and to The MIT Press for keeping these big questions alive. If you want more episodes like this, don’t forget to subscribe to our podcast on Spotify and check out our YouTube home, "Weekend Researcher." Plus, we’re spinning on Amazon Prime Music and Apple Podcast, ready for you to tune in anytime, anywhere!

So — here’s the question that’s going to keep us all curious til the last page: When the machines we've built come alive with their own learning and agency, are we still the authors of our own future... or just characters in a rapidly evolving script? 🤯 What do you think?

Welcome to “Revise and Resubmit”, and to this episode of “Weekend Book Review”! 🎙️✨ Today we are diving into a book that pokes right at the soft underbelly of our media diets, a book that asks whether what we are reading is news, noise, or something far more carefully engineered: “Content Confusion: News Media, Native Advertising, and Policy in an Era of Disinformation” by Michelle A. Amazeen. 📚🧠

Michelle Amazeen is not just a commentator on media, she is one of the scholars who actually maps how persuasion and misinformation seep into our everyday information feeds, drawing on years of research as an Associate Dean of Research, Associate Professor of Mass Communication, and Director of a major Communication Research Center. Her work on mediated persuasion, misinformation, and fact checking has shaped policy conversations and helped journalists, educators, and policymakers understand how people can recognize and resist subtle forms of influence. That deep, empirical lens is what she brings into “Content Confusion”, making this more than a media rant and closer to a field guide for anyone who cares about democracy and an accurately informed public.​

In this episode, we will unpack how native advertising quietly blurs the line between journalism and marketing, how even sophisticated readers can be fooled, and why regulatory responses in the US and beyond have struggled to keep up with the harms this hybrid content creates for public trust and democratic participation. We will walk through the historical shift from subsidy and patronage to ad driven media, look at how news organizations rationalize these practices, and ask what happens when generative AI accelerates this blending of fact, framing, and sponsored spin. 🤖📰

So, stick around as we flip through the pages of “Content Confusion”, test our own ability to spot disguised persuasion, and think about what ethical, transparent media might look like in the next decade. Huge thanks to Michelle A. Amazeen for writing this vital book, and to MIT Press for publishing it and pushing this conversation into the mainstream. 🙏📖

Welcome to Revise and Resubmit 🎙️✨
The podcast where dense PDFs turn into sharp ideas, and where your weekend self and your weekday scholar finally agree on something. 📚☕

Today, we’re stepping into a story about competition you think you understand… until it sneaks up on you from the wrong industry.
Some rivals look like you.
Some rivals sell what you sell.
And some rivals… stream into your living room while your business quietly dies on Main Street. 🎬🏙️

The paper on the table today is:
📝 “When should firms watch for cross-industry competition? A demand-side perspective”
by Ying Li, Samira Reis, and Olga M. Khessina.

Published in the Strategic Management Journal – yes, that prestigious, field-defining, FT50-listed journal that sits at the top of tenure packets and dream CVs. 🏛️⭐
And hot off the press, too: published on 20 November 2025 by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Here’s the twist.
This isn’t just another story about firms staring nervously at their closest rivals.
This is a demand-side lens. 👀
Instead of asking, “Who do we think our competitors are?” the authors ask, “Who do our customers secretly think our competitors are?”

They dive into the rise of television and the fall of Illinois movie theaters from 1944 to 1962. 🎥📺
Same free evening.
Same human need for stories and escape.
Different technology, different industry…
But in the consumer’s mind?
Substitutes.

Two powerful mechanisms drive this hidden competition:
🎭 Cultural embeddedness – when new products borrow the cultural feel, symbols, or rituals of the old ones, they slip into the same mental slot in consumers’ heads.
📢 Social salience – when emerging products dominate public talk, media buzz, and social imagination, they start to define what “counts” as the way to spend time or money.

And it gets trickier.
Not all customers see these substitutes the same way.
Income matters.
Education matters.
Immigration status matters.
Different groups, different thresholds for saying, “You know what? This new thing… is good enough to replace the old thing.” 💸🎓🌍

So today on Revise and Resubmit, we’re going to unpack how cross-industry competition lives first in the mind of the customer, not in the NAICS code of the firm.
We’ll ask what this means for managers scanning the horizon, for strategy scholars mapping industries, and for anyone who still thinks “our real competitors look just like us.”

🎧 Before we dive in, hit follow and subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, Amazon Prime, and Apple Podcast, and check out the YouTube channel Weekend Researcher for more deep dives that fit into your weekend but sharpen your weekday thinking. 💥

Huge thanks to the authors Ying Li, Samira Reis, and Olga M. Khessina, and to the publisher John Wiley & Sons Ltd., for this fascinating contribution in the Strategic Management Journal, a truly elite FT50 journal pushing the frontier of strategy research. 🙏📖

So, as we get started, ask yourself:
If your customers drew a map of your competitive landscape—not you, not your consultant—what unexpected industry would suddenly appear right next to you on that map? 🤔🚀

🎙️ Welcome to Revise and Resubmit — the podcast where research doesn’t just sit in PDFs, it crackles, hums, and walks right into your workday. 📚⚡

Today, let’s talk about a quiet revolution happening in your office… maybe even on your laptop. 🧠💻 First, AI came for the routine stuff. Then it came for the complex stuff. Now it’s standing right next to you at work — not as science fiction, but as a system, a dashboard, an algorithm that claims it can “help.”

Is that help a blessing… or a curse? 😈✨

Some days, AI feels like a superpower: fewer boring tasks, smarter tools, more time to think. Other days, it feels like a shadow at your desk, tracking clicks, timing keystrokes, quietly changing what your job even is. One moment you’re enriched, the next you feel replaced. One email from IT, and suddenly “how you work” has shifted again. 🔄

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a brand-new 2025 article that stares this tension right in the eye:
📝 “Curse or Blessing: Investigating the Influence of Firms’ Artificial Intelligence Adoption on Employee Job Satisfaction”
by Colin Schulz, David Bendig, Antonio Bräunche, and Bastian Kindermann.

Published in the Journal of Management Studies, one of the most prestigious management journals in the world and proudly part of the elite FT50 list, this paper doesn’t settle for easy answers. 🏛️🌟 Instead, it maps out how AI adoption bends and twists job satisfaction into an inverted U-shape:

• Too little AI, and the promise of help never arrives.

• Too much AI, and the job can feel monitored, fragmented, or hollowed out.

• Somewhere in the middle lies a strange, fragile sweet spot. 🎯

But here’s where it gets even more interesting. The authors show that what your firm actually does — how exploratory it is, how seriously it takes data governance — can quietly tilt that curve. With the right exploration mindset, higher AI adoption doesn’t have to suffocate satisfaction; with thoughtful data governance, that steep curve can flatten, smoothing the emotional roller coaster of AI at work. 🎢

Grounded in Job Characteristics Theory, the study zooms in on what really changes inside your job: complexity, autonomy, the sense that your work is meaningful rather than mechanical. It doesn’t stop at numbers; it listens to real employees navigating real AI tools, in real firms over more than a decade. This is AI not as a buzzword, but as lived experience — promotion, pressure, possibility, and doubt, all at once. 🔍👥

So today, as we unpack this paper, we’re really asking:
When AI walks into your firm, does it enrich your work, erode it, or do a bit of both at different speeds?

🙏 Massive thanks to Colin Schulz, David Bendig, Antonio Bräunche, and Bastian Kindermann, and to the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. for publishing this important study in the Journal of Management Studies (FT50) — a true heavyweight in the world of academic research.

We’re also streaming on Amazon Prime Music and Apple Podcast, so you can take these ideas wherever you go. 🌍✨

So tell me… as AI grows inside your organization, is it quietly composing a better job for you — or slowly rewriting you out of the story? 🤖❓

Welcome to "Revise and Resubmit," your go-to zone where research isn't just read—it’s remixed, reimagined, and brought to life! 🎙️✨ Today, we’re diving into a paper that asks us to look far beyond textbook theorizing. The article “Theorization as a Prerequisite for Diffusion: How and Why Multimodal Expression Matters,” authored by the brilliant Ines Kuric and Markus A. Höllerer, was just published in the extraordinary Academy of Management Review—a journal so prestigious, it’s on the FT50 list! 🏆📚

Picture this: in the age of memes and multimedia, should we still believe that crisp, dry words are enough to make ideas travel? Kuric and Höllerer say—maybe not! 🤔 They nudge us to see theorization not just as what is said, but how it’s expressed across modes, moments, and contexts. By blending social semiotics with institutional theory, they create a vivid new language of expression: expository, balanced, suggestive—theorizing gets a style upgrade, and suddenly, diffusion is a design challenge! 🚦💡

Before we begin, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the pioneering authors Ines Kuric and Markus A. Höllerer, as well as the Academy of Management, for opening up these new avenues of thought in one of the most respected journals in the world.

Now, here’s our question for you: If the future of ideas depends on both what we say and how we show it, what kind of multimodality could transform your own field—or even your daily life? Drop your thoughts in the chat! 🔍👀

🎙️ Welcome back to Revise and Resubmit — the podcast where research meets storytelling, and ideas get their well-deserved second life. 📚

Today, we’re unbuttoning the layers of identity, fashion, and transformation through a paper that quite literally moves from kurtas to crop tops. 🧵✨

Titled “From kurtas to crop tops: A theory of postliminal self-transformation,” this remarkable study by Tanuka Ghoshal and Russell W. Belk unfolds in the Journal of Consumer Psychology, one of the most prestigious academic journals on the FT50 list. 🏛️ That means we’re diving into research that doesn’t just make waves — it shapes how the world understands consumers, culture, and identity.

The authors take us beyond the liminal threshold — past that confusing, in-between stage — and into what happens after. What does transformation look like when women from traditional Indian backgrounds step into urban corporate landscapes? 👩🏽‍💼 How do clothing, language, and self-presentation turn into tools for reinvention? And what does it really take to inhabit a new version of yourself while negotiating patriarchy and class? 🌆💭

Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of the Society for Consumer Psychology, this study doesn’t just observe—it awakens questions about who we become when we cross cultural borders and social thresholds.

So here’s the question that lingers in today’s episode:
💫 When the world around you changes faster than you can adapt, is consumption your armor—or your language of becoming?

🙏 Huge thanks to the authors Tanuka Ghoshal and Russell W. Belk for this brilliant contribution, and to the Journal of Consumer Psychology for publishing such thought-provoking work.

🎙️ Welcome to Revise and Resubmit — where research meets curiosity, and great ideas get their second draft! ✍️

Today, we’re diving into a study that every leader, manager, and team member might secretly fear… or embody. 🚁
The paper is titled “Helicopter Bosses: Development and Validation of the Micromanagement Scale” — a fascinating exploration of how some leaders hover just a little too close for comfort.

Published on November 11, 2025, in the Journal of Management — yes, that’s an FT50-listed and highly prestigious journal — this research comes to us from scholars Catherine Midel Deen, Christian Kiewitz, Jun-Yeob Kim, Simon Lloyd D. Restubog, Ying-Yi Chih, and Robert L. Tang, and it’s brought to the world by SAGE Publications. 🏛️

Their work uncovers something we’ve all felt but seldom defined: what truly makes a micromanager tick? Through meticulous studies and thousands of data points, they build the Micromanagement Scale (MMS-9) — a new lens for understanding control, monitoring, and obsessive detail focus at work.

So here’s the question to start us off today: 💭
If micromanagement is driven by low trust and anxiety, could the cure for it lie not in better systems… but in better relationships?

A big thank you to the authors and SAGE Publications for this insightful contribution to one of the world’s top management journals. 🙌

🕊️ Welcome to "Revise and Resubmit", and this is our Weekend Classics episode. 🎙️

Today, we take a quiet moment to look back — not just at a piece of writing, but at a lifetime of contribution. The work we discuss reminds us that behind every milestone in computing, there were minds who shaped possibility into progress.

📖 The article is "History of Computing in India: 1955–2010", written by Dr. Vaidyeswaran Rajaraman, and published in the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing on March 10, 2015. Brought to us by IEEE, this seminal work traces the evolution of computing in India through decades of political shifts, policy experiments, and human determination.

Dr. Rajaraman, who recently passed away on 8 November 2025, at the age of 92, was more than a scholar. He was a builder of legacies. His work connected stories of machines and ministries, technocrats and teachers, all woven into a narrative that explained not only how computers came to India, but why they stayed.

The article charts four turning points — in 1970, 1978, 1991, and 1998 — when the nation redefined its relationship with technology. Each decision carried its own weight of fear and promise, resistance and revelation. And as you read his words, you sense both the distance of history and the heartbeat of a man who lived through it.

💡 Dr. Rajaraman’s insights speak softly but deeply. They tell us that computing in India wasn’t just built with circuits and code, but with courage and conviction.

Thank you, Dr. Vaidyeswaran Rajaraman, for a lifetime dedicated to knowledge, and thanks to IEEE for preserving his voice for generations ahead. 🪔

🎙️ Hey there, book lovers! Welcome to "Revise and Resubmit", and this is your Weekend Book Review episode 📚✨

Today, I’ve got something truly extraordinary for you. We’re diving headfirst into "Flesh" by David Szalay, the electrifying novel that just snagged the Booker Prize 2025 🏆. Published by Jonathan Cape on March 6, 2025, this one’s been lighting up the literary scene like wildfire.

Szalay—whose past masterpieces include All That Man Is and Turbulence—has once again proven why his prose feels like silk one moment and sandpaper the next. Born in Canada, raised in London, now living in Vienna, he writes like someone who’s seen every human contradiction up close—and maybe even lived a few of them. 🌍

"Flesh" grips you by the heart, the mind, and maybe the conscience too. It’s hypnotic, propulsive, and painfully human. We follow István, a boy tangled in loneliness and longing, who grows into a man consumed by desire, power, and regret. Each page peels back another layer until you’re not sure whether you’re watching him unravel—or yourself.

So get ready for a story that asks not just what it means to live, but what it costs to feel alive. 💭

Thank you to David Szalay for this hauntingly beautiful work—and a big shout-out to Jonathan Cape for bringing it to us. 🙏

Now the question is… when a man finally gets everything he thought he wanted, what’s left of him that’s still real? 🤔

🎧 Hey there, and welcome to "Revise and Resubmit" — the podcast where ideas get their second draft and brilliance finds its final form! 🪶 Every week, we explore how top-tier research reshapes how we think, teach, and create.

Today’s episode dives into a powerful piece from one of the world’s most prestigious academic outlets on the FT50 list — the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of the Strategic Management Society, this journal is where the sharpest minds redefine entrepreneurship at its edge. 🚀📘

This week’s research spotlight? "From critique to catalyst: How academic entrepreneurs transform negative feedback into pivots and performance," authored by D. Carrington Motley, Michael Leatherbee, and Riitta Katila, published on November 3, 2025.

Now, imagine this — academic entrepreneurs standing in the storm of critique, every question and comment slicing through their ideas. But instead of retreating, they pivot. They reshape the very core of their business ideas — not just the edges — and somehow, those adjustments turn critique into commercial triumph. 💡⚙️ From feedback to action, from rejection to rebirth — that’s the rhythm of innovation this paper captures.

Today, we’ll unpack how a negative remark can trigger the next big leap, how pivoting the inner skeleton of an idea — not just its facade — can predict success in entrepreneurial ventures. Because sometimes, it’s not about proving your critics wrong… it’s about letting them make you better.

A huge thanks to the authors — D. Carrington Motley, Michael Leatherbee, and Riitta Katila — and to John Wiley & Sons Ltd and the Strategic Management Society for publishing this remarkable research in the FT50-ranked Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal. 🙌

So… here’s the question we’ll be wrestling with today:
When your work faces tough critique — do you defend your idea, or let the critique transform it? 🤔💭

🎙️ Welcome everyone into our latest episode of "Revise and Resubmit"—the place where research comes alive, one question at a time!

🤓 Today, we're diving into an extraordinary paper: "A Theory of Investors' Disclosure" by Pingyang Gao and Jinzhi Lu. Published on November 7, 2025, in none other than Contemporary Accounting Research—a journal so prestigious, it's on the FT50 list! 📚✨

What happens when investors hold secret evidence on a firm, tiptoe between transparency and strategy, and shake up the market? Our authors reveal a world where investors always disclose their initial evidence, but when it comes to additional clues, they play a clever game—showing the extremes, hiding the middle, and leaving markets guessing. Their disclosure doesn't just move the price—it can mislead it, intentionally.

So here’s the puzzle: If investors can profit from volatility rather than certainty, are disclosures designed to inform... or to disrupt? 💡

A heartfelt thanks to the brilliant authors, Pingyang Gao and Jinzhi Lu, and big appreciation to the Canadian Academic Accounting Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. for publishing such impactful research.

Don’t forget, you can subscribe to "Revise and Resubmit" on Spotify, check out our YouTube channel "Weekend Researcher," and listen on Amazon Prime and Apple Podcasts. 🔔💥 Wherever you tune in, join our journey to rethink research.

Here’s our curious question to take with you: In a market where investors disclose to drive volatility, not truth, can we ever really trust what’s revealed?

Welcome back to 🎙️ "Revise and Resubmit" — the space where research breathes, ideas speak, and the world of academia gets its long-overdue heart-to-heart. 🚀

Today’s episode takes us to the quiet corridors of universities — where ideas still hum, but the echoes of volunteer spirit are growing faint. We’re looking at a deeply reflective piece that doesn’t just study academia; it questions its soul.

The paper in focus? “The insights from the crowd: Drawing inferences from many approaches to key empirical questions in international business,” authored by Ajai S. Gaur and Chinmay Pattnaik. Published on October 16, 2025, in the prestigious Journal of Management Studies — yes, one of the elite FT50 journals — and brought to life by the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

This essay uncovers a troubling truth: the slow erosion of volunteerism in academia. Once, reviewers, editors, and conference organizers stepped forward out of duty, passion, and collective purpose. Now, as work piles higher and incentives skew sharper toward personal gain, the question echoes louder — “What’s in it for me?” 📚💭

The authors, drawing from decades of experience, deliver a moral wake-up call. They remind us that without the invisible labor of reviewers and service-minded scholars, the academic ecosystem risks collapse. Their message is urgent yet hopeful — rebuild a culture of giving, recognize service as scholarly excellence, and teach every young academic that peer review is not a chore, but a cornerstone.

And here’s the spark that makes you think: if academia was once built on shared stewardship, what happens when no one steps forward to hold the line anymore? 🤔✨

A heartfelt thank-you to the authors, Ajai S. Gaur and Chinmay Pattnaik, and to the publisher for making this reflection possible through such a highly regarded platform.

🎙️ Welcome back to “Revise and Resubmit” — the place where bold ideas meet brilliant minds, and every paper tells a story worth retelling.

📚 Today, we’re diving into a paper that’s reshaping how we think about intelligence itself — “Artificial Intelligence in the Knowledge Economy” — written by Enrique Ide and Eduard Talamàs. Published by The University of Chicago Press in the Journal of Political Economy, one of the most prestigious FT50 journals, this study asks: what happens when machines don’t just assist us... but start knowing more than we do? 🤖💡

It’s not your average economics model. This one imagines a world of workers and solvers, of copilots and autonomous agents. The twist? The smarter the AI, the wider the gap between who benefits — and who gets left behind. 📈⚖️

So buckle up — because as we peel back the layers of this research, you’ll see how autonomy, inequality, and technology collide in the modern knowledge economy.

✨ Thanks to Enrique Ide and Eduard Talamàs for their groundbreaking work, and to The University of Chicago Press for bringing this scholarship to light in such a revered journal.

Now here’s the question that will keep you thinking long after this episode ends:
👉 If intelligence itself can be automated — what does it really mean to be “knowledgeable”? 💭

Welcome to "Revise and Resubmit," where research meets real talk and every episode is a front-row seat to the world of breakthrough scholarship! 🎙️✨ Today, we're diving into a paper that's equal parts puzzle and revelation: "The insights from the crowd: Drawing inferences from many approaches to key empirical questions in international business."

This isn't your ordinary study—it's a 64-author extravaganza led by Andrew Delios, Tianyou Hu, Shu Yu, Eric Luis Uhlmann, and Nan Zhou, along with the contributions of dozens more brilliant minds. 🌏🧑‍🔬 They teamed up for a global crowdsourcing challenge, tackling four tough questions in international business and slicing the same data in more ways than you can imagine.

Here’s the twist: the analysts—in total, 57 of them—often landed on totally different results! Different methods, different meanings, sometimes even opposite answers... Yet by pulling all those divergent paths together, the team uncovered big-picture insights about the tug-of-war between expert judgment and data-driven inference. Is subjectivity a flaw, a feature, or a fuel for new discovery? 🤔💡

This remarkable work was published just this week—November 5th, 2025—in the prestigious Journal of International Business Studies, a proud member of the FT50 list, and brought to you by Springer Nature. Trust us, when journals matter, FT50 journals make all the difference. 🏆📚

A thunderous thank you to Andrew Delios and the entire team of authors, plus everyone at Springer Nature, for pushing the boundaries of how science can be done. 🙏🚀

Before you go scribbling your next research idea, here’s a question to stir your scholarly spirit: If 57 experts can see the same data so differently, what does that tell us about “truth” in international business—or in any field at all? 🌐🔍

🎙️✨ Welcome back to Revise and Resubmit — your weekend escape into the brilliant, bizarre, and breathtaking world of academic ideas!

🔥 Today’s episode is Weekend Classics, where we time-travel to 1969 — bell-bottoms, moon landings, and a model that would forever change how marketers, economists, and innovators understand product adoption.

📈 From Management Science, we bring you Frank M. Bass’s legendary piece, “A New Product Growth for Model Consumer Durables.”
This is where the Bass Model was born — that elegant curve mapping the dance between innovation and imitation, predicting how a product climbs, peaks, and fades in the hands of eager consumers.

🛋️ Color TVs, microwaves, smartphones — Bass's insight still hums quietly behind every launch curve. But here’s the real kick: what if innovation itself could be forecasted just like weather? What happens when human curiosity becomes a mathematical rhythm?

💭 So, is the future of every great idea already hiding in the curve of yesterday’s data?

🙏 Big thanks to Frank M. Bass for his timeless contribution.

🎙️ Hey book lovers and cold war curio-hunters! Welcome to "Revise and Resubmit," your one-stop shop for stories that sweep you off your feet. Today’s episode, "Weekend Book Review," is diving into the electrifying shadows of espionage and underground literature... so get ready for some true spy-versus-censor action. 📚🕵️‍♀️

If you think spies only traded secrets, think again. In "The CIA Book Club: The Best-Kept Secret of the Cold War," Charlie English brings us a real-life tale where books became battle plans and printing presses ticked like quiet bombs of rebellion. This wasn’t just fiction—this was the front line. Imagine banned books like "1984" and "Animal Farm" spirited past watchtowers, floated across borders, concealed in luggage, and multiplied in secret print shops. Each book lighting a spark, a hidden rebellion, a clandestine reader’s hope.

Let’s talk about the mastermind—Charlie English is London’s own wizard of narrative nonfiction. He’s led global news desks, illuminated lost libraries from Timbuktu to Europe, and written for everyone from The Guardian to the New York Times. Off the page, he’s even herding sheep in the English countryside with his border collie, Enzo, and still finds time to rescue literary history. You’d think wrestling sheep would be easier than wrangling Cold War secrets!

As we tumble into this story of rebels and readers, you’ll meet Polish heroes like Miroslaw Chojecki, smuggling stories under martial law, and see how men and women with the courage to pass forbidden words helped tear down the iron walls of censorship. In the end, it wasn’t tanks that toppled regimes—it was the written word. That’s the power of a paperback in a world of propaganda.

Huge thanks to Charlie English and William Collins—Harper Collins imprint—for giving us this wild, true story of how literature quite literally set people free.

🎙️ Welcome to “Revise and Resubmit” — where ideas meet their second life, and every paper tells a story! 🌎✨

Today’s episode ventures into the heartbeat of entrepreneurial finance — that fragile space between seed funding and the next big leap. 💡💸

We’re diving into “Investor Heterogeneity and Venture Performance,” a 2026 article from the prestigious Journal of Business Venturing — yes, one of the elite FT50 journals that define academic excellence. 🏆

Authored by Marwin Mönkemeyer, Kathrin Rennertseder, and Henning Schröder, and published by Elsevier, this study uncovers a paradox: when a startup’s investors come from diverse cultural backgrounds, the very diversity that promises innovation can, at times, sow discord. 🤔🌍

Their data tells a sharp story — greater heterogeneity can mean lower chances of raising future funds and smaller investment volumes. The diversity dividend fades as ventures mature... suggesting that in early funding rounds, too many voices might just drown out direction. 📉🔍

But here’s the twist Gary Provost would have loved — nothing in research is ever that simple. Every coefficient hides a conversation, and every finding sparks the question that keeps us revising and resubmitting.

So here’s ours for today 🌀👇
👉 When does diversity stop being a strength — and start becoming a cost in venture creation?

Special thanks to the authors Marwin Mönkemeyer, Kathrin Rennertseder, and Henning Schröder, and to Elsevier for making this research possible through the Journal of Business Venturing (FT50). 🙏
