In this episode of ‘Found in Translation’, we discuss different strategies for applying theory in practice. We discuss the validating and undermining effects that theory can have, depending on the position that one occupies in the organisation: be it manager or consultant. The episode also touches on different situations of application, including a more explicit use in contrast to situations that call for a more implicit application.
The episode’s guest speaker is Peter Bagge Grimstrup, Operations manager at GRO Capital and former consultant at McKinsey. The episode is hosted and moderated by Ph.D. fellow Malia Carvalho.

In this episode of ‘Found in Translation’, we discuss how theory is shaped and shapes us. Theories are something we create together: we socially construct them and we also practically construct them. We discuss how theory can be used as a tool to broaden our perspective on personal and professional levels. Moreover, we talk about the ability of theories to act as external sources of legitimacy.

In this episode of ‘Found in Translation’, we discuss academia’s pursuit of impact and the growing demand for researchers to engage effectively in conversation with a broader audience. How does the academic community respond to this demand? And what happens to research outputs when communicated to broader society in pursuit of impact? I ask senior business writer and journalist from the Financial times, Andrew Hill, how he as a journalist engages with academic research in his communication with broader society. I also ask Assistant Professor Pedro Monteiro from CBS about his experience with journalism as a vehicle for transmitting his research to a broader audience.

Found in Translation’ opens a window into how organization and management theory is used in practice. In these episodes, we talk to a broad range of stakeholders – including managers, consultants, journalists, and scholars – about the way that organization and management theory affects (their) practice. We dig into what theory means when used in an organizational context. We aim to help our listeners gain a better understanding of how organization and management theory achieves impact and how academia and practice interact. Found in Translation is developed, hosted and moderated by Ph.D. Fellow Malia Carvalho with guidance from Eva Boxenbaum, Renate Meyer, and Pedro Monteiro. The podcast is produced by CBS Teaching & Learning for the TITAN research project: Turning Theory into Action.
