Welcome into the podcast “Revise and Resubmit” — the place where ideas get sharper, sentences get braver, and research gets the spotlight it deserves 🔍📚. Today’s episode? It hums. It builds. It questions. It stings a little. And then it sings. Because the best prose — like the best inquiry — plays with rhythm: short beats, longer lines, and the kind of crescendo that makes the mind lean forward to listen.This one matters. The Journal of Business Research is a prestigious venue — an ABDC A-listed journal — and that status isn’t just a letter; it’s a signal of rigor, relevance, and international standing in the research community. Elsevier publishes it, and the journal’s reputation in business and management is anchored by years of high-impact, peer-reviewed work that shapes how firms, scholars, and policymakers think.Today’s feature: “The dark side of open innovation: Individual affective responses as hidden tolls of the paradox of openness,” by Ioana Stefan, Pia Hurmelinna-Laukkanen, Wim Vanhaverbeke, and Eeva-Liisa Oikarinen — Journal of Business Research, Volume 138, January 2022, Pages 360–373 🧠🗝️.Short sentence: Open innovation thrives on sharing. Longer sentence: But when value must be protected while it’s being created — when teams must stay open enough to collaborate and closed enough to safeguard — a paradox forms, and inside that paradox, people feel things they rarely publish: anxiety, defensiveness, fatigue, even cynicism. The authors go micro, interviewing individuals at the coalface of collaboration, mapping affective responses, and surfacing the hidden tolls: the destructive outnumber the constructive, the heat often beats the light, the cost of opening up is not just strategic — it’s emotional 💥🧩. And yet, humans cope; they twist figurative language, crack gallows humor, and stack small, clever shields to carry on — signals that the microfoundations of innovation are as psychological as they are procedural.Listen. Rhythm matters — in writing, in teams, in trust. Vary the cadence; vary the choices; vary the boundaries; that’s how the work breathes. But what happens when the rhythm of openness keeps speeding up, while the rhythm of protection refuses to slow down? 🫨🧪Before we dive deeper, a salute: thank you to the authors — Ioana Stefan, Pia Hurmelinna-Laukkanen, Wim Vanhaverbeke, and Eeva-Liisa Oikarinen — and to the publisher, Elsevier, for this important contribution in the Journal of Business Research (ABDC A).Tap follow and keep the conversation going:Subscribe to “Revise and Resubmit” on Spotify and Apple Podcast — and yes, we’re also on Amazon Prime Podcasts 🎧⭐.Watch extended cuts and behind-the-scenes on the Weekend Researcher YouTube channel 🎥🧪.Here’s the question to carry into the episode: if most emotional responses to the paradox of openness are destructive, how should leaders redesign collaboration so that openness creates value without quietly burning out the people who create it? 🤔🧭ReferenceStefan, I., Hurmelinna-Laukkanen, P., Vanhaverbeke, W., & Oikarinen, E.-L.
