    Corporations at Climate Crossroads (Hsueh 2025) - Weekend Book Review

    English Podcast starts at 00:00:00 Bengali Podcast Starts at 00:20:29 Hindi Podcast Starts at 00:39:07 Welcome to Revise and Resubmit. This is Weekend Book Review. 🎙️✨ Hey friends 👋 I’m buzzing to crack open "Corporations at Climate Crossroads: Multilevel Governance, Public Policy, and Global Climate Action" by Lily Hsueh, published on 02 September 2025 by MIT Press. 📚🌍 This one hits like a drumbeat. It starts small. It grows. It gathers evidence. It crescendos. It asks business to look in the mirror, then look outward to policy, then look upward to global governance, and act. Here’s the hook 🔗: Hsueh shows that climate action inside the world’s biggest firms is not guesswork. It is a system. It is bottom-up and top-down. It is internal leadership meeting external institutions. From 2011 to 2020, across Fortune Global 500 companies reporting to CDP, she maps who moves first, who follows regulation, who learns through global governance, and how managerial capabilities turn pressure into performance. There are numbers. Big ones. There are cases. Sharp ones. There is a framework of multilevel governance that explains why some firms self-regulate boldly while most respond to incentives, constraints, and opportunities to learn. 🔍📈 And the guide behind the map? Lily Hsueh, Associate Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Arizona State University, a former Visiting Scholar at Stanford’s Woods Institute for the Environment, an American Fellow of AAUW in 2020–21, and a scholar whose work has appeared in the Financial Times, Fortune, and PBS NewsHour. She blends economics, political science, and management to show how leaders navigate uncertainty with complementary capabilities, regulatory engagement, and strategic bets that matter when the heat is on. 🧠🔥 So let’s read with purpose, ears open to the rhythm of evidence and eyes on the levers that actually move emissions. If you were a corporate decision maker tomorrow morning, which signal would tip you from mere compliance to true conviction on climate action? 🤔🌱 🙏 Thank you, Lily Hsueh, and thank you, MIT Press.🎧 If you enjoyed this, subscribe to the podcast on Spotify and to our YouTube channel Weekend Researcher.💿 We’re also available on Amazon Prime Music and Apple Podcast.

    English Podcast Start at 00:00:00 Bengali Podcast Start at 00:20:29 Hindi Podcast Start at 00:43:57 Welcome to "Revise and Resubmit" — and this is "Weekend Classics"! 🎙️📚✨ Some ideas arrive quietly. Some arrive loud. The best ones arrive, linger, and change how we see everything. Today’s classic does exactly that. 🚀🧠 We’re opening the spine on Absorptive Capacity: A New Perspective on Learning and Innovation by Wesley M. Cohen and Daniel A. Levinthal — published in Administrative Science Quarterly, a prestigious FT50 journal, Vol. 35, No. 1, Special Issue: Technology, Organizations, and Innovation (Mar 1990), from SAGE Publications. 🏛️📖⭐ Here’s the rhythm: you spot new knowledge, you take it in, you put it to work. Recognize. Assimilate. Apply. 🔎➡️🧩➡️💡It starts with minds: prior knowledge, diverse backgrounds, richer mental scaffolds. Then it scales to organizations: structures that connect, expertise that overlaps, teams that talk. 🧑‍🏫👩‍🔬🤝Diversity builds bridges. Structure builds speed. Investment builds memory. And memory builds tomorrow. 🧱⏳🚀 History matters. Path matters. Miss an early step, lose a future staircase. R&D isn’t just invention; it’s preparation — a down payment on your ability to learn what the world will teach next. 🧪💸🔭Spillovers? They’re not just leaks; they’re ladders. When the incentives to absorb are strong, firms climb. When appropriability and opportunity shift, R&D follows the knowledge wind. 🌬️📈🪜 If you’re new here, hit subscribe to "Revise and Resubmit" on Spotify 🎧 and the YouTube channel "Weekend Researcher" ▶️. We’re also available on Amazon Prime and Apple Podcast. 🅰️🍎Huge thanks to the authors, Wesley M. Cohen and Daniel A. Levinthal, and to the publisher, SAGE Publications. 🙏📝 So, here’s our Weekend Classics question: if absorptive capacity is path-dependent, what one investment could you make today that your future self will be uniquely able to learn from tomorrow? 🤔✨ Reference Cohen, W.

Short waves. Long tides. A calm sea, then a storm. 🌊🚢👑 Our paper: “Connected to a Sinking Ship? Firm Performance in a Besieged Autocracy” by Christopher A. Hartwell. Published online August 28, 2025, in the prestigious Journal of Management—an FT50 journal—by SAGE Publications. 🏛️📈💼 This isn’t just history. It’s a blueprint for risk. For reward. For reckoning.Nineteenth-century tsarist Russia. A full-service steamship firm—Kavkaz i Merkurii (Caucasus and Mercury), known as OKiM—ties itself to the throne. They don’t dabble in politics; they dock there. They invite officials aboard. Even royalty. 👑🖋️ Violence rises. Markets shiver. The firm leans in. And the numbers talk. Event studies whisper what the crowd felt. GARCH models reveal what the market remembered. Spikes. Slumps. Volatility that lingers like fog over water. 📊📉🌫️ Some shocks pay. Fast-suppressed violence? New contracts. Shareholders nod.Other shocks bite. Military demands under market rates? Investors frown. Regime-threatening unrest? Long-run uncertainty surges. The line between state and enterprise blurs; the balance sheet pays the price. ⚔️💸📉 This is authoritarian capitalism: survive by proximity, thrive by connection, risk becoming ballast.

    Effect of construal level on the drivers of online-review-helpfulness (Chatterjee, 2025)

    English Podcast starts at 00:00:00 Bengali Podcast starts at 00:14:59 Hindi Podcast starts at 00:32:10 WELCOME to Revise and Resubmit! 🎙️✨ The podcast where we slice open the dense world of academic research to find the juicy, beating heart inside. 🤓❤️ Think about the last time you bought something online. 🛒 Maybe it was a coffee machine. Maybe a hotel room. You scrolled. And you scrolled. Past dozens of reviews. Some long and detailed. Some short and punchy. Some from a "Top 10 Reviewer" and some from a first-timer. What made you stop? What made you nod and say, "Yep, that's a helpful review"? 🤔 It feels random. A gut feeling. But what if it isn't? What if your brain is wired to find different things helpful based on a simple, hidden factor: when you need the item? Buying a jacket for tonight's party is different from planning a ski trip for next winter. Your brain is in a completely different mode. This is the brilliant territory we're exploring today. 🗺️ We're diving into a phenomenal paper from the journal Electronic Commerce Research. And folks, this is a top-tier, prestigious ABDC 'A' journal – the academic equivalent of a blockbuster hit! 🏆 The article is titled: "Effect of construal level on the drivers of online-review-helpfulness". The central idea, based on something called Construal Level Theory, is pure genius. 💡 The research finds that if you're buying something for the immediate future (like ordering food for dinner 🍕), you're in a "low construal" state. You want the nitty-gritty details. The how. The specifics of the review matter most. But if you're planning something for the distant future (like booking that dream vacation ✈️), you're in a "high construal" state. You're thinking about the big picture. The why. And in that state, you care more about who wrote the review. The reviewer's trustworthiness becomes the key. The details become fuzzy. The reputation shines through. Mind-blowing, right? 🤯 This isn't just theory; it has massive real-world implications for how online platforms should be ranking and showing you reviews! A massive round of applause for the author, Swagato Chatterjee, for this incredible piece of research, and a huge thanks to the publisher, Springer Nature, for bringing this work to the world. 🙏 And hey, if you enjoy getting your mind blown by cool research, do us a huge favor! Subscribe to "Revise and Resubmit" on Spotify, Amazon Prime, and Apple Podcast! 🎧 For even more content, including author interviews and research breakdowns, subscribe to our YouTube channel, "Weekend Researcher"! 📺 So, I’ll leave you with this question to ponder... Knowing that your brain prioritizes differently based on timing, does this change how you'll approach writing your own review for a product you just received versus one you bought months ago? 🤔 Reference Chatterjee, S.

    English Podcast Start at 00:00:00 Bengali Podcast Start at 00:15:36 Hindi Podcast Start at 00:35:22 Welcome to Revise and Resubmit 🎙️, where research gets louder, ideas get braver, and today’s questions refuse to wait for tomorrow’s answers. Tonight’s spotlight: “Relational Entrepreneurial Perseverance in Extreme Contexts,” by Pablo Muñoz, Jonathan Kimmitt, and Nick Williams—fresh from the pages of Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, a prestigious FT50 journal published by SAGE Publications. This isn’t just a paper. It’s a pulse.It’s the rhythm of recovery after crisis, the long-haul heartbeat that keeps communities moving when the ash settles and the headlines fade.Short sentence. Big stakes. Extreme context. Long memory. Collective grit. 🔥🌋 Across the Calbuco Volcano eruptions in Chile, this study traces how perseverance becomes social: descriptive cues that share recovery memories, injunctive cues that socialize a work ethic, and symbolic cues that celebrate legacies. 🧠🤝✨Perseverance doesn’t just live inside the lone entrepreneur—it’s stitched into group principles and community celebration, building recovery legacies that become memory assets for the next hit. 🧵🔁📚 And yes, this conversation arrives from a serious stage: Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice is widely recognized as one of the field’s most influential journals and is included in the Financial Times FT50 list. 🏛️⭐ So, smash that follow and subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, and catch deep-dive breakdowns on the YouTube channel Weekend Researcher. 🎧▶️The show is also available on Amazon Prime (via Amazon Music’s podcast access with Prime) and on Apple Podcasts—tune in wherever thinking runs fast and curiosity runs deep. 🍏🛒 Huge thanks to the authors—Pablo Muñoz, Jonathan Kimmitt, and Nick Williams—and to SAGE Publications for advancing this vital conversation from crisis response to community endurance. 🙏 Here’s the curious question to carry forward: when the next crisis arrives, which memory assets will the community reach for first—and what new legacies will begin to form in the ashes. ❓ Reference Muñoz, P., Kimmitt, J., & Williams, N.

    Kafka and Organization Studies (Lohmeyer & Schuessler, 2025) | FT50 OS

    English Podcast Start at 00:00:00 Bengali Podcast Start at 00:16:39 Hindi Podcast Start at 00:35:48 Welcome into the podcast Revise and Resubmit 🎙️✨. Today we dive into Kafka and Organization Studies by Nora Lohmeyer and Elke Schuessler, published online on July 20, 2025 in the prestigious Organization Studies journal from SAGE Publications 📚. Here is the headline that matters first: Organization Studies is an FT50 journal, a benchmark list that signals elite standards and wide impact in management research 🏆. That prestige sets the stage for a piece that revisits Kafka not only as the patron saint of bureaucracy’s night terrors but as a surprising guide to resilience, reform, and the strange clarity inside modern systems 🏢🧭. The essay spotlights Kafka’s often overlooked “office writings” from his day job as an accident insurance lawyer, inviting organization scholars to see the file, the form, and the memo as instruments that can protect as much as they constrain 📄🛠️. From there it stretches into today’s world, where uncertainty is constant and organizing is both futile and necessary, both a maze and a map 🌪️🗺️. It lingers where algorithms hum and platforms sprawl, studying enigmatic, inescapable organizations that feel increasingly digital and deeply human at once 🤖🔍. Along the way it uncovers acts of resistance and repair, using bureaucratic institutions to push against injustice and to channel fairness through the very pipes that often clog 🚦✊. Nora Lohmeyer and Elke Schuessler craft an argument that is crisp, careful, and timely, reconnecting Kafka’s life and literature to the most urgent debates in organizing and democracy today 🧩📖. Their essay belongs in Organization Studies, published by SAGE, where conversations about organizations meet the public stakes of our digital age 📈🌍. If this kind of inquiry sparks thought, subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify and catch more deep dives on the YouTube channel Weekend Researcher, and yes the show is available on Amazon Prime and Apple Podcast too 🎧💬✨. Many thanks to the authors Nora Lohmeyer and Elke Schuessler, and to the publisher SAGE Publications, for bringing this work into one of the world’s FT50 venues 🙏🏅. So here is the question to carry into the week: when an organization feels Kafkaesque, what small practice could turn the same machinery that confuses into a machinery that clarifies 🤔🌀?

    Manipulation (Noggle, 2025) - Weekend Book Review

    English Podcast starts at 00:00:00 Bengali Podcast Starts at 01:08:18 Hindi Podcast Starts at 01:31:49 Welcome into the podcast Revise and Resubmit, this is Weekend Book Review 🎙️📚.Tonight we crack open Manipulation: Its Nature, Mechanisms, and Moral Status by Robert Noggle, a sharp new hardcover from Oxford University Press.Published on 27 March 2025, this is a book review with teeth and tenderness, ready to test the stories told about influence. Gaslighting, flattery, misdirection, nagging, emotional blackmail, charm offensives, and playing on emotions swagger through these pages like suspects in a lineup, and the book asks what unites them.Noggle’s answer is the Mistake Account, the claim that manipulation is the kind of influence that works by introducing a mistake into a target’s mental states or processes.It pulls levers in our minds, from cognitive and decision biases to the lure of the lesser good that sits within easy reach while the greater good waits a little farther away 🧠🔍.Morally, manipulation is presumptively wrong, though in extreme cases the book allows that justification can appear, and the worst cases corrode well-being and autonomy.By the end, the Mistake Account is applied to priming, conditioning, nudges, advertising, sales, and the online currents that tug at attention every day ✨. Robert Noggle is Professor of Philosophy at Central Michigan University, and his work circles the ethics of influence, moral theory, and questions about children and autonomy.Across his career he has probed persuasion and manipulation with an eye for where reasoning falters and where responsibility should step in.This volume joins the New Topics in Applied Philosophy series and reads like a seminar that moves from clear definitions to lived dilemmas, from sharpened concepts to everyday choices. Thanks to Robert Noggle for the scholarship and to Oxford University Press for the publication 🚀🙏.Subscribe on Spotify and on the YouTube channel Weekend Researcher, and find this show on Amazon Prime Music and Apple Podcast so the next review lands right where listening happens 🎧✨.If manipulation so often feels like clarity while sowing a small, decisive mistake, what habit of mind should be practiced this weekend to catch the next subtle nudge before it catches us ❓ Reference Noggle, R.
