While #OpenStrategy research investigates transparent & participatory strategy-making, its relationship to traditional forms of workplace democracy has been mostly ignored.

In a new Strategic Organization article, Felix Schmid and I start to fill this gap: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14761270261456141
(will. soon be available open access)

One reason why it is so hard to reign into Big Tech platforms is their own contradictions. In a new article by @elkesybille, Sara Maric & myself, we try to unpack how they expand and subvert democratic publics by looking at the case of YouTube: https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1mc285Ef7AXVcx

How come that editors of scholarly journals regularly lament the problems of finding enough competent reviewers, while reviewers report being overwhelmed by requests to review?

In our research essay for the journal Organization, Mie Plotnikof, Matthias Wenzel and I argue that, while being critical for advancing scholarly knowledge, reviewing is an invisibilized, underappreciated, and exploited academic practice.

New Article: »Reviewing is Caring! Revaluing a Critical, but Invisibilized, Underappreciated, and Exploited Academic Practice«

Together wie Mie Plotnikof (Aarhus University) and Matthias Wenzel (Leuphana University Lüneburg), I have written an essay proposing a care perspective to the way we organize academic peer review. The paper entitled “Reviewing is Caring! Revaluing a Critical, but Invisibilized, Underappreciated, and Exploited Academic Practice” has now been published open access in Organization. Check out the abstract below:

Reviewing is critical to advancing scholarly knowledge by assuring research standards and contouring what counts as novel. Yet, our system of reviewing submissions to journals is in crisis. With growing submission numbers, editors struggle to match these with qualified review capacities, unwillingly adding extra, often uneven, workloads on some reviewers, without equally distributing pressures or finding the most ‘ideal’ expert match. We propose to redress this issue in terms of care. Inspired by feminist care theory, we discuss how the current review system invisibilizes, underappreciates, and exploits the care invested in it. Furthermore, we suggest reconsidering the very organizing of the review system along the lines of care to reinvigorate the nurturing, knowledge-enhancing practices of reviewing. Specifically, we recommend (1) increasing the visibility of reviewing across journals, (2) recognizing reviewing as an inherent part of paid scholarly work, and (3) introducing cross-journal review limits. Together, we argue that such moves enable a more visibly appreciative and less easily exploitative organizing of reviewing as a scholarly practice of care that we and all science indeed rely on.

Finally, I created another visualization of the paper’s motif to share with the hashtag #1paper1meme:

It's always great (and often a relief) when an academic article finally gets published. However, it's particularly fantastic if it has been co-authored with your sibling.

This is why I am so happy to share the news that the book chapter »Searching for Transformative Potential: Comparing Conceptualizations of Open, Inclusive and Alternative Organizations« co-authored by @loradob and Katharina Kreissl and myself is out now:

Why does opening up strategy processes not necessarily increase variety of participation? In our article in #OrganizationTheory, Martin Friesl, Christoph Brielmaier & I conceptualize how managing self-selection processes makes a difference: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/26317877231183986 #1paper1meme
