Today, we’re stepping into the fascinating crossroads between moral aspirations and the everyday grind, exploring how institutions transform their deepest purposes without losing their soul.Our spotlight shines on an exceptional 2025 study: "Bridging Moral Aspirations and the Mundane Reality: A Grounded Study of the Process of Radical Purpose Adaptation in a Business School" 🏛️ — penned by Luca Manelli, Carlotta Benedetti, Josip Kotlar, and Federico Frattini. Published in the highly prestigious Journal of Management Studies — part of the FT50 journal list — this research takes us inside a European business school’s bold journey to reimagine its mission for society.From proactive purpose work 🎯 that sparks new visions — and unexpected tensions — to reactive purpose work 🛠️ that contains and redirects them, this paper offers a rare, longitudinal lens on how repurposing plays out in reality. It’s a living dance between ideals and constraints, between visionary leaps and stabilising steps.So… 😏 what does it really take for leaders to rewrite an organization’s purpose without watching it unravel in their hands?🔹 Huge thanks to the authors and the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies & John Wiley & Sons Ltd. for this extraordinary contribution to scholarship.📌 And don’t forget — subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify 🎧, check out our YouTube channel Weekend Researcher 📺, and listen to us on Amazon Prime 📦 and Apple Podcast 🍏.
