    60. Unlocking Success: The Critical Incident Technique's Transformative Role in Management Research

    Have you ever wondered what separates the best from the rest in the world of management? What if I told you there's a secret tool that has transformed how we understand leadership, innovation, and organisational development? – The magic is simply the Critical Incident Technique or CIT – a tool that's been shaping management research since the 1960s. This technique, stemming from the innovative work of psychologist John C. Flanagan, has transcended its military origins to become a cornerstone in understanding and improving various facets of organisational life. Join us as we explore how pivotal moments can redefine organisational success and development and uncover the lessons that can turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Through the lens of CIT, every incident tells a story, and every story holds the key to unlocking extraordinary potential.

    59. Thinking Culturally about Organisations: Strategies of Cultural Change by Paul S. Bate

    59. Thinking Culturally about Organisations: Strategies of Cultural Change by Paul S. Bate

    We are drawing inspiration from Paul Bate's seminal work, "Strategies for Cultural Change," in which he challenges traditional views of organisational culture, urging us to see it not just as an attribute an organisation has, but as the very essence. As we explore his insights, we will unravel the complexities of 'thinking culturally' about organisations and discuss practical strategies for enacting meaningful and sustainable cultural change. We navigate the intricate pathways of altering the very core of an organisation's identity.

Let's kick things off by unpacking what Design-based Research, or DBR, really is. We'll explore the theoretical approaches that underpin this fascinating concept. Then, we'll navigate through the intriguing results that emerged from the project, giving you a firsthand glimpse into the real-world impact and insights gained. It's a journey through theory, application, and discovery.

    56. From Research to Results: The PRISMA Way of Systematic Reviews

    56. From Research to Results: The PRISMA Way of Systematic Reviews

    Systematic reviews such as these are just one of many ways in academic writing to accumulate the current state-of-the-art in a relevant field of research. But fear not, we've got PRISMA as our guiding star. PRISMA stands for “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.” In this episode, we will embark on a journey to let you understand what systematic reviews are and how you could use this extraordinary tool to capture an aerial photo from your research. We will also introduce the PRISMA guidelines to equip you with the relevant toolbox to start using this methodology in your own research.

    55. Beyond the Screen: Unraveling the Nuances of Online Collaborations

    In this episode, we dive deep into the latest research and trends to help you navigate the ever-evolving world of management, social sciences and education. Today, we're breaking down a fascinating study that my colleague Mattis Altmann from the TU Dresden and I presented at the GeNeMe 2023 conference titled "Exploring Critical Learning Incidents in Collaborative Online International Learning: Implications for Digital Readiness and Learning Design." Through self-reflection journals, we captured the essence of students' positive and negative perceptions. The study underscored the importance of formative feedback, the potential of design-based teaching, and the profound impact of 'Critical Learning Incidents' on a student's journey.
