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. TITAN is funded by the Velux Foundation and hosted at the Department of Organization - also called IOA - at Copenhagen Business School.
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.
The episode’s guest speakers are Andrew Hill, Financial Time’s senior business writer and Assistant Professor Pedro Monteiro from IOA at CBS. The episode is hosted and moderated by Ph.D. fellow Malia Carvalho.
