Esther Yau Chau (University of Alberta) and Amirsalar Jafari Gorizi (University of Texas at Dallas) explore with Andrew Nelson (University of Oregon), Callen Anthony (NYU Stern), and Mary Tripsas (UC Santa Barbara) how professional musicians' frustration with black-boxed digital technology sparked the surprising return of analog synthesizers, and what this reveals about the relationship between occupational dynamics and technology trajectories.

An interview with Professor Lindsey D. Cameron from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Interviewers Xian Zhu (McGill University) and Krishna Dermawan (University of Queensland) unpack the process in the development of this paper on gig-workers in the ride-hailing industry.

In this conversation, interviewers Ashley M. Flowers (University of South Carolina) and Ejian Zhou (Erasmus University) explore with Letian Zhang (Harvard University) and Shinan Wang (Northwestern University) the research process behind their study on how national differences in social trust shape hiring strategies across the European Union.

Luise Kaufmann (Technical University of Munich) and Vetrikumaran (Vetri) Ananthasayanam (University of Alabama) sit down with Panayiotis (Panikos) Georgallis (University of Amsterdam), Glen Dowell (Cornell SC Johnson College of Business), and Rodolphe Durand (HEC Paris) to unpack the development of their research on how nascent industries navigate government policy in the face of powerful incumbents.

Interviewers Marton Gera (Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University) and Saeed Fanoodi (University of Mississippi) explore with Muhan Zhang (The Chinese University of Hong Kong), Forrest Briscoe (The Pennsylvania State University), and Mark R. DesJardine (Dartmouth College) the development of their research on how diffuse street protests indirectly shape corporate governance through board appointments.

Interviewers Linette Dawson (University of Tampa) and Yanbo Song (INSEAD) sit down with Rodrigo Canales (Yale School of Management) and Charlie Cannon (Rhode Island School of Design) to discuss how their research bridges organizational theory and design thinking to explain why smart, well-funded teams working on urgent problems still struggle to collaborate across sectors.

Grant Jacoby (University of North Carolina) sits down with Jason Davis (INSEAD) to trace the evolution from his research on collaboration dynamics in innovation ecosystems to his current work on how AI is fundamentally reshaping teams, strategy, and the innovation process itself.

Interviewers Fabio Busicchia (Polytechnic University of Milan) and Tailun Chen (Zhejiang University) explore with Mia Chang-Zunino (ESCP Business School) and Stine Grodal (Northeastern University) the puzzle of why scientific evidence failed to shift public understanding of AIDS, and what distinguishing between causal and moral dimensions of categories reveals about resistance to new facts.

Leandro S. Pongeluppe (The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania) shares with Peter S. Polhill (Cornell University) and Bonita Das (York University) how his randomized controlled trial revealed a surprising paradox: as favela residents climbed the economic ladder through entrepreneurship, they faced heightened stigma rather than its reduction.

Valerio Iannucci (Boston University) and Elisabeth Yang (Yale School of Management) discuss with Arvind Karunakaran (Stanford University) the paradox at the heart of his research: how bottom-up social media scrutiny, rather than improving accountability, created a "glass cage" that obscured professional judgment and transformed frontline 911 operators' work.
