  1. Sustainable Fast Fashion is a Three-Body Problem

    Sustainable Fast Fashion is a Three-Body Problem

    In a recent study, Professor Mehmet Gumus learned that consumers are reluctant to pay more for sustainable clothing. This creates a conundrum for fast fashion companies. Sustainable manufacturing is expensive, so firms want to know their investment will be worth it. But, if they’re going to succeed, major stakeholders will have to join forces to make an impact. Gumus believes companies, consumers, and public institutions can work together to help fast fashion change fast. He joins us on the McGill Delve podcast to talk about how. -- Professor Gumus' study: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4866873 Our website: delve.mcgill.ca -- This episode of the McGill Delve Podcast was hosted and edited by Eric Dicaire.

  2. When Catastrophic Failure Brought the Space Industry Together

    When Catastrophic Failure Brought the Space Industry Together

    In 2014, a commercial spacecraft crashed during a test flight, killing one pilot and severely injuring the other. The ensuing public backlash not only threatened the future of the company, but also the industry as a whole. What followed was a remarkable show of unity among industry leaders, driven by a shared passion for exploration and the need to legitimize a nascent commercial space industry. This incident gives us a glimpse at the behaviours of nascent industries when under existential threat. It also carries important lessons in risk-management and stakeholder relations in high-risk fields. Sen Chai, Professor of Organizational Behaviour at the Desautels Faculty of Management, studied the impact of the crash on the commercial space industry. She joins us on the McGill Delve podcast to talk about it. -- Professor Chai's study: https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/full/10.1287/orsc.2021.1467 -- This episode of the McGill Delve Podcast was hosted and edited by Eric Dicaire.

  3. The Social Dynamics of Organizational Misconduct

    The Social Dynamics of Organizational Misconduct

    Every peer group has its own set of norms, rules, and values, which heavily influences individuals’ behaviours – sometimes more so than the law itself. Within organizations, these social dynamics can enable unethical and illegal behaviour, which in turn can have severe consequences on people and communities. Here’s a look at the concept of social dynamics, how it sometimes enables misconduct in organizations, and how it can be leveraged to deter unethical behaviour. -- This episode of the Delve podcast draws on the following previous interviews: Remix or Reinvent? How Deviance Can Drive Careers in the Creative Community of EDM, with Amandine Ody-BrasierNo Such Thing as a Bad Apple? Understanding Organizational Misconduct, with Sarah GordonDiagnosing and Treating Bribery in Public Organizations, with Diana Dakhlallah McGill Delve is the official thought leadership platform of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University.

    How To Improve EDI Hiring Practices

    Increasingly, EDI is a priority for organizations. But while the intention is there, inclusive hiring has not yet become the great equalizer many hoped it would be. Professors Jeraul Mackey, Brian Rubineau, and Roman Galperin are experts in equitable hiring from the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University. Through their research, they identified three areas where EDI may run into barriers: soliciting applications, assessing cultural fit of a candidate, and evaluating a candidate’s qualifications. Here are some expert-backed tips to overcome them. More from Professors Jeraul Mackey, Brian Rubineau, and Roman Galperin: -           Why Employers Think Overqualified Job Applicants Lack Commitment, with Roman Galperin -           How Organizations Can Increase Gender Diversity by Rethinking Job Recruitment, with Brian Rubineau -           Hidden Biases Are Hurting Your Equitable Hiring Goals, with Jeraul Mackey -- Delve is the official thought leadership platform for the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University.

    How Social Goals Can Drive Innovation Policy

    Paola Perez-Aleman, Associate Professor of Strategy and Organization at McGill University, joins Dr. Sabine Dhir to discuss Brazil’s approach to building healthcare innovation capacity. Brazil has been building innovation capacity and cultivating knowledge networks in their fight against Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), a public health issue that affects millions in Brazil and around the world. Since the 1970s, the country cultivated new knowledge networks, which include domestic and international organizations, with the goal of improving their innovation capabilities in healthcare. These efforts could provide a template for other nations hoping to do the same. -- LINKS Creating innovation capabilities for improving global health: Inventing technology for neglected tropical diseases in Brazil -- Delve is the official thought leadership platform for the Desautels Faculty at Management of McGill University.

    Can Strategy Be Emotional?

    Conventional wisdom tells us to suppress our emotions when making strategic organizational choices. But Quy Huy, Professor of Strategy at INSEAD, thinks that’s a mistake.

In this episode of the Delve podcast, Professor Huy sits down with host Saku Mantere to make the case for more emotions in organizational leadership. - LINKS Article: Emotional Capability, Emotional Intelligence, and Radical Change Quy Huy’s faculty profile at INSEAD - Delve is the thought-leadership platform for the Desautels Faculty of Management of McGill University.
