Introduction starts at 00:00:00English Podcast starts at 00:00:37Bengali Podcast starts at 00:15:09🎙️ Welcome back to Revise and Resubmit, your favorite corner of the academic universe where ideas aren’t just born — they’re challenged, refined, and reimagined.This is where we rethink what matters in research — and today, we’re doing that in style. 🧠📚✨Today’s episode is a little different. A little deeper.Because we’re diving into the invisible.We’re diving into the quiet ripple effects of management research — the kind that don't scream for attention but quietly change the way the world works.📄 The article?“The Manifold Impacts of Management Research”🌟 Published in the prestigious Journal of Management Studies — an FT50 journal, no less.🗓️ Released just this week on May 14, 2025.📚 Brought to us by the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.And the minds behind this thought-provoking piece?We’ve got a powerful crew:🔹 Matthias Wenzel🔹 Philip Gylfe🔹 Saku Mantere🔹 Joep CornelissenFour scholars who decided to ask a question that doesn’t show up on most reviewer checklists:What is impact? And are we looking for it in the wrong places?They take us beyond citations and consultant lingo. They argue — drawing on Habermas’s theory of knowledge and human interests — that research doesn’t just influence the boardroom through bullet points.It seeps in slowly, through education, through media, through conversations in classrooms, strategy sessions, and maybe even through podcasts like this one. 🎧😉From technical knowledge to emancipatory insight, from clean theory to hybrid impact, this paper gives us a whole new vocabulary for understanding how ideas — especially management theories — shape practice, values, and vision.And it leaves us with something profound:Maybe it’s not about publishing papers that make waves.Maybe it’s about writing research that makes tides. 🌊So here’s a question for you to chew on:If management theory impacts the world in manifold, often invisible ways… what kind of impact do you want your work to have?🙏 Huge thanks to Matthias, Philip, Saku, and Joep, and to Wiley and the Journal of Management Studies for giving us a reason to think bigger.🚨 Don’t forget to subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and Amazon Prime Music!📺 And for more deep dives like this, check out our YouTube channel 👉 Weekend Researcher.Because impact isn’t always loud.But if you’re listening closely... it’s everywhere. 🌍Let’s revise.
