Every so often, a piece of research arrives that makes you wonder whether people really change, or whether the world simply gives them permission to become who they were always capable of being. 🌍✨ Today's episode takes us into that uncomfortable, fascinating space where culture, memory, and leadership collide. We are discussing the remarkable new paper, "Rewriting the Imprint: How #MeToo Led CEOs From Male-Dominant Cultures to Increase Gender Equality," by Michael J. Mueller and Taco H. Reus, recently published online on 5 June 2026 in the prestigious Journal of Management. Now, the Journal of Management is not just another academic outlet. It belongs to the elite FT50 journal list, a collection of publications that shape the global conversation in business and management research. 🏆📖 The authors ask a deceptively simple question. What happens when the values we inherit from childhood collide with a movement that reshapes society? Can a CEO raised in a deeply male-dominated culture genuinely rethink old assumptions? Or are early imprints too deeply carved into the human mind? Drawing on the global wave of the #MeToo movement, this study suggests something surprisingly hopeful. It finds that many leaders who once seemed least likely to change became the very people who increased opportunities for women the most. Not because they were forced to, but because a social movement created what the authors call a "second sensitive period," a moment when old beliefs could be rewritten. 💡🌱 Maybe that is the larger story here. Maybe institutions do not change because rules change. Maybe they change because people find themselves staring at a mirror they never expected to face. And that leaves us with a question worth carrying into the rest of our day. 🤔 If a movement can rewrite the deepest cultural imprints of a corporate leader, what forgotten imprint inside each of us is still waiting to be rewritten? 🙏 Our sincere thanks to authors Michael J. Mueller and Taco H. Reus, and to SAGE Publications for bringing this outstanding research to the academic community. 🎧 If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about world-class research, please subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, and to our YouTube channel Weekend Researcher.

This is our Weekend Book Review, the little corner of the week where I get to sit down with a book that asks us to think a little harder about the world and, perhaps, about ourselves. You know, we often imagine that reasoning is something cold and mechanical. We picture logic as a row of tidy equations marching across a blackboard. But then you watch a child recognize a dog they have never seen before, or you hear someone say, "This feels like home," and suddenly you realize that the mind works less like a calculator and more like a landscape. That is exactly where Peter Gärdenfors and Matías Osta-Vélez invite us to wander in their remarkable new book, Reasoning with Concepts: Conceptual Spaces as a Framework, published by The MIT Press on 26 May 2026. Gärdenfors, one of the pioneers of cognitive science and the architect behind the theory of conceptual spaces, has spent decades asking how meaning itself is organized. Alongside him, philosopher of science Matías Osta-Vélez brings a deep curiosity about how humans and intelligent systems actually make sense of the world. And together they offer a beautiful, almost geometric idea. Maybe our minds do not reason by following rigid rules. Maybe we move through invisible spaces, where thoughts have shape, memories have distance, and ideas become neighbors. Similarity, typicality, analogy, expectation, they are not separate puzzles at all. They are different paths through the same mental landscape. As someone fascinated by both marketing and artificial intelligence, I found myself wondering whether the future of AI will belong not to machines that calculate faster, but to machines that can understand concepts the way people do. Perhaps intelligence is less about finding the right answer and more about knowing which ideas belong close together. 📖 So today, we are going to explore a book that quietly bridges psychology, philosophy, cognitive science, and AI, and asks one deceptively simple question: How do our minds know what belongs where? 💛 A heartfelt thank you to authors Peter Gärdenfors and Matías Osta-Vélez, and to The MIT Press, for bringing this thought-provoking work into the world. 🎙️ If you enjoy conversations where research feels a little more human, please subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify and follow our YouTube channel, Weekend Researcher.

The place where research papers stop looking like intimidating stacks of PDF files and start sounding like stories about real people, real choices, and the wonderfully complicated business of being human. 🌍✨ Today, we are diving into a fascinating new article, "Fly Solo, Then Return Home? Offspring's Entrepreneurship Experience and their Future As Family Business Successors," by Philipp Sieger, Jasper Brinkerink, Massimo Baù, Johan Karlsson, and Alfredo De Massis, recently published online on 29 May 2026 in the Journal of Management Studies, one of the world's most respected management journals and a proud member of the prestigious FT50 journal list. 🏆📖 Every family business carries a quiet question that is rarely written into the balance sheet. Will the next generation stay, or will they leave? And perhaps even more importantly, if they leave to chase their own dreams, can they ever truly come back? This paper follows thousands of families across Sweden and discovers something deeply human. Sometimes the child who walks away to build a company of their own is not abandoning the family legacy at all. They are preparing themselves for it. Entrepreneurship becomes less of an escape and more of an apprenticeship. 🚀🏡 But life is never that simple. What happens when that independent venture becomes wildly successful? What happens when personal ambition and family obligation begin pulling in opposite directions? The authors show that succession is not just a business transaction. It is a conversation between generations, shaped by opportunity, identity, and the enduring gravity of home. ❤️ In many ways, this research reminds us that families are strange little economies. We invest in each other, we compete with each other, we leave, and sometimes, after seeing the world, we discover that the road forward circles back to where we started. 🙏 Our sincere thanks to the authors for this thoughtful contribution and to the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. for bringing this outstanding work to the scholarly community. 🎧 If you enjoy conversations where big ideas meet everyday life, please subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify and follow our YouTube channel Weekend Researcher.

Every once in a while, I come across a book that feels less like a management textbook and more like a gentle correction to the way we've been looking at the world. Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach is one of those books. When R. Edward Freeman first published it back in 1984, the business world was still largely telling one story. Companies existed to serve shareholders. Profit came first, and everything else followed. But Freeman, who began his academic journey studying mathematics and philosophy before becoming one of the world's most influential thinkers in business ethics, asked a wonderfully simple question. What if a company is really a community? What if customers, employees, suppliers, governments, and even society itself are not distractions from business, but the very reason business exists? I have always loved books that make complicated ideas feel deeply human, and this one does exactly that. It reminds me that behind every quarterly report is a factory worker heading home to family, a supplier betting on a contract, a customer placing trust in a brand, and a manager trying to balance impossible expectations. Freeman did not merely give us a framework. He gave us a different pair of glasses. Perhaps that is why this book still matters more than forty years later. In an age of AI, climate change, social media storms, and global uncertainty, the old map often feels too small for the territory. Stakeholder theory asks us to widen the frame and see business as an ongoing act of creating value together. 📖 So today, we revisit this modern classic from Cambridge University Press, originally part of the Pitman series in Business and Public Policy, and explore why generations of scholars and managers still return to its pages. A heartfelt thank you to Professor R. Edward Freeman for giving the world an idea that continues to shape how we think about capitalism, and to Cambridge University Press for keeping this remarkable work alive for new readers. 🎙️ If you enjoy conversations where books become stories and theories become human, please subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, YouTube channel Weekend Researcher, Amazon Prime Music, and Apple Podcasts. Your support helps this little community of curious minds keep growing. 💭 And before we begin, I want to leave you with one question. If the true measure of a business is not simply the wealth it creates for owners, but the lives it touches along the way, then who, really, is the most important stakeholder in the story?

Remote Work and Hiring Requirements (Wang et al 2026) | FT50 ASQ

There was a time when remote work sounded like liberation. 🌍💻 No traffic jams. No fluorescent office lights. No manager watching the clock from across the room. Just a laptop, an internet connection, and the quiet promise that work could finally fit around life instead of the other way around. But every revolution leaves behind a different kind of pressure. Today’s episode explores the fascinating new paper “Remote Work and Hiring Requirements: Cross-Country Evidence from Job Postings,” written by Shinan Wang, Letian Zhang, and Zhenyu Liao, published online on 29 May 2026 in Administrative Science Quarterly 📚🏛️, one of the world’s most prestigious FT50 journals. The researchers analyzed more than 50 million job postings across 28 European countries. And hidden inside that mountain of data was a troubling shift in the modern labor market. Remote jobs increasingly ask for more. More skills. More qualifications. More experience. According to the study, remote positions often require nearly 25% more skills than comparable in-person jobs. Why? Because remote work changes how organizations trust people. When employees are physically distant, training becomes harder. Informal learning disappears. Managers cannot simply walk across the office to solve confusion in real time. At the same time, companies suddenly receive applications from an enormous global talent pool, allowing them to become more selective than ever before. 📈 And so hiring changes. Employers begin relying heavily on measurable signals like certifications, technical expertise, and years of experience. Cultural fit and human chemistry slowly lose ground to metrics and keywords. The résumé becomes a filter. The worker becomes a checklist. What makes this paper powerful is that it reveals something larger than remote work itself. It reveals how digital life quietly transforms human expectations. Flexibility sounds humane. But flexibility also creates competition on a scale previous generations never imagined. The office may disappear. But the pressure follows us home. And maybe that leaves us with a difficult question tonight: If remote work gives us freedom from physical offices, why does it also make workers feel they must become endlessly optimized just to belong? 🌌 🙏 Special thanks to Shinan Wang, Letian Zhang, Zhenyu Liao, and SAGE Publications for this outstanding contribution to scholarship in the prestigious FT50 journal Administrative Science Quarterly. 🎧 Subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify and follow the YouTube channel Weekend Researcher 🚀 Also available on Amazon Prime Music and Apple Podcast 🍎🎙️
