<p>Since Moneyball, sport have gone through a transition from gut-driven decisions to using data to understand better how performance of elite athletes is shaped, how teams are built to win and how managerial decisions write sports history. <br> In fact, such data is much more available to scientists than data from corporate, so a lot of the models we use every day to manage our teams derive from sports science. For example, one of such models is equity theory, telling us that the perceived fairness is a tremendous factor influencing our team members' performance. <br> In this Episode, I have summarized some of the least obvious insights from the paper "Using Sports Data to Advance Management Resarch", published recently in Journal of Management. Tune in to learn what we can learn from NBA All Stars, Formula 1, top football teams and other athletes to make our teams thrive and our business – grow faster. <br> Plenty of papers were discussed in this podcast, so if you would like to have a deeper look, check these out: <br> 💡Fonti, F., Ross, J.

<p>According to data from McKinsey (Baggio, Digentiki, Varma, 2019) as many as 70% organizational change initiatives fail to deliver what the expected results. This makes understanding of proper implementation of such initiatives incredibly crucial. In search for some ideas on how to properly implement such interventions, I came across a thorough scientific paper written by Ulrica von Thiele Schwarz and her colleagues forming a multidisciplinary team tackling change from different perspectives. Their list of 10 principles of organisational intervention is a must read for anyone implementing changes in their work across all levels, from small teams to entire organization. </p> <p>Prof. Schwarz accepted my invitation to Science of Business Podcast where we dive even deeper in these principles, searching some practical solutions to:</p> <p>▶️ Involving essential stakeholders in change initiative</p> <p>▶️ Defining proper objectives for it</p> <p>▶️ Considering organizational context that might influence the change</p> <p>▶️ Designing the change logic</p> <p>▶️ Managing change implementation and using it beyond the initial purpose</p> <p>Share this podcast with your Managers, Directors, Trainers and other change makers, so the next change you make in your organisation is evidence based.</p> <p>Paper discussed: </p> <p>von Thiele Schwarz, U., Nielsen, K., Edwards, K., Hasson, H., Ipsen, C., Savage, C., ... & Reed, J. E. (2021). How to design, implement and evaluate organizational interventions for maximum impact: The Sigtuna Principles. European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, 30(3), 415-427.</p>

<p>New research shows that organic social media content brings higher influence on sales than what your clients say about you over the internet. If your company tends to offer deal after deal in your social media, and you wonder if it makes sense to invest time in writing anything else, then you should listen to this interview. Together with Georgia Liadeli from Vrije University Amsterdam, we are exploring her newest paper, summarizing over 95 000 000 observations of how social media activity affects engagement and sales. Listen to get a big picture view on:</p> <ul> <li>What types of content work better for engagement? </li> <li>What types of content boost your sales?</li> <li>Which products sell better using organic content?</li> <li>Is it even worth writing social media content when you are a small company?</li> <li>What to check when entering new markets?</li> </ul> <p>Paper discussed:</p> <p>Liadeli, G., Sotgiu, F., & Verlegh, P.
