Paola Perez-Aleman, Associate Professor of Strategy and Organization at McGill University, joins Dr. Sabine Dhir to discuss Brazil’s approach to building healthcare innovation capacity.
Brazil has been building innovation capacity and cultivating knowledge networks in its fight against Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), a public health issue that affects millions in Brazil and around the world. Since the 1970s, the country cultivated new knowledge networks, which include domestic and international organizations, with the goal of improving their innovation capabilities in healthcare. These efforts could provide a template for other nations hoping to do the same.

Demetrios Vakratsas is a Professor of Marketing at the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University. In a recent study, he found that physicians use scientific evidence to learn about new specialty drugs, rather than consulting traditional marketing materials.
They don’t need brochures. They don’t look at ads. Instead, specialists participate in word-of-mouth marketing to learn about drugs that could help their patients. So what does this mean for marketers in the pharmaceutical sector? And how does this affect the delivery of care for patients with rare diseases?
Professor Vakratsas shares his insights on this episode of the McGill Delve podcast.

In a recent study, Professor Mehmet Gumus learned that consumers are reluctant to pay more for sustainable clothing. This creates a conundrum for fast fashion companies. Sustainable manufacturing is expensive, so firms want to know their investment will be worth it. But, if they’re going to succeed, major stakeholders will have to join forces to make an impact.
Gumus believes companies, consumers, and public institutions can work together to help fast fashion change fast. He joins us on the McGill Delve podcast to talk about how.

In 2014, a commercial spacecraft crashed during a test flight, killing one pilot and severely injuring the other. The ensuing public backlash not only threatened the future of the company, but also the industry as a whole. What followed was a remarkable show of unity among industry leaders, driven by a shared passion for exploration and the need to legitimize a nascent commercial space industry.
This incident gives us a glimpse at the behaviours of nascent industries when under existential threat. It also carries important lessons in risk-management and stakeholder relations in high-risk fields.
Sen Chai, Professor of Organizational Behaviour at the Desautels Faculty of Management, studied the impact of the crash on the commercial space industry. She joins us on the McGill Delve podcast to talk about it.

Every peer group has its own set of norms, rules, and values, which heavily influences individuals’ behaviours – sometimes more so than the law itself. Within organizations, these social dynamics can enable unethical and illegal behaviour, which in turn can have severe consequences on people and communities. Here’s a look at the concept of social dynamics, how it sometimes enables misconduct in organizations, and how it can be leveraged to deter unethical behaviour.

Increasingly, EDI is a priority for organizations. But while the intention is there, inclusive hiring has not yet become the great equalizer many hoped it would be. Professors Jeraul Mackey, Brian Rubineau, and Roman Galperin are experts in equitable hiring from the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University. Through their research, they identified three areas where EDI may run into barriers: soliciting applications, assessing cultural fit of a candidate, and evaluating a candidate’s qualifications. Here are some expert-backed tips to overcome them.

Where does great organizational strategy come from? Many executives create plans in the boardroom, setting targets and allocating resources. But, according to renowned management scholar Henry Mintzberg, this may not be the best approach.
Henry Mintzberg is a Professor of Strategy and Organization at the Desautels School of Management of McGill University and the author of several comprehensive books on strategy, management, and society. He says great strategic insights can come from anywhere and anyone in an institution – you just have to open yourself to it.

Conventional wisdom tells us to suppress our emotions when making strategic organizational choices. But Quy Huy, Professor of Strategy at INSEAD, thinks that’s a mistake. Tapping into emotions – our own and other people’s – are a fundamental part of competent leadership and bringing people towards a common goal. In this episode of the Delve podcast, Professor Huy sits down with host Saku Mantere to make the case for more emotions in organizational leadership.

From Velcro to the iPod, companies have leveraged creativity to innovate and re-shape entire industries. But what we think of as “creative” only earns accolades up to a certain point. At least, that’s what Mitali Banerjee discovered when she used an algorithm to measure creativity in modern paintings. She’s an assistant professor in strategy and organization at the Desautels Faculty of Management. In this episode of Delve, she sits down with host Saku Mantere to explore what her work means for organizations looking to make their mark.

Bribery. Corruption. Ethical misconduct. These terms have strong connotations, inspiring images of high-level conspiracy and backroom deals. But bribery can occur at any level of an institution, from front-line workers to powerful executives. And no matter where it occurs, it can erode trust in public institutions, which can have negative downstream effects on the health of a society and population. But how do we stop it once it starts?
Diana Dakhlallah, Assistant Professor in Organizational Behavior at the Desautels Faculty of Management, tested a possible solution a Moroccan hospital. Step one: drill down to the organizational level.

Why do some organizations continue to flourish despite the harm they cause to their workers, consumers, and surrounding communities? Is there a single person or group within an organization who should be blamed for misconduct, or is misconduct a foundational structure within some institutions? On this episode of the Delve podcast, Sarah Gordon, Desautels Professor of Organizational Behaviour, and host Saku Mantere discuss why organizational misconduct is so prevalent in society. Through a closer look at the Chicago Police Department, Professor Gordon explores possible ideologies and structures that enable misconduct in trusted institutions.

What does a military officer, a performer acting as Santa Claus, and a tech employee in Silicon Valley have in common? They all work in fields where their bodies are intentionally governed by organizational systems intent on shaping them into an idealized image of a worker. Indeed, every single body engaged in work is encouraged to undergo body work in order to be employable in their chosen industries and maintain their roles. However, body work affects different bodies disproportionately. How does organizational body work impact equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace? And how can we improve systems of body work in organizations to create better working conditions?
On the Delve podcast, Professor Rohini Jalan from Desautels Faculty of Management explains the concept of organizational body work as “purposeful efforts to shape bodies, embedded in organizations”. She further explains that workplaces and “its managers, its employees, its organizations have systems that exert efforts intentionally to shape bodies in some form or fashion”. In some industries, body work is explicitly expected and performed, such as the military, sports, and sex work industries. However, in other industries, such as academic institutions, STEM fields, and the creative industry, body work is implicitly carried out on a daily basis.

Could accounting hold the key to successfully implementing climate change initiatives, achieving equality and diversity in the workplace, and contributing towards a more sustainable future? Current research shows that accounting and global regulatory accounting practices are essential for organizations to reach sustainability goals that have a more measurable impact. An accounting perspective can also shift how organizations approach sustainability toward a holistic standpoint instead of piecemeal solutions or departmental silos.
On this episode of the Delve podcast, Professor Brian Wenzel from the Desautels Faculty of Management follows up on another Delve podcast episode about the current and future role of accounting in sustainability initiatives. Delve’s first conversation with Professor Wenzel focused on how accounting and accounting standards are essential for organizations in reaching their sustainability goals. This episode further examines the future of accounting in sustainability initiatives, covering the topics, insights, and outcomes of the McGill Accounting Research Conference, co-sponsored by the McGill Sustainable Growth Initiative (SGI) at McGill on June 7 and 8, 2023.

What can older generations learn from Millennials and Gen Z about leadership, strategy, and dealing with crisis? And how can these younger generations unlock their professional potential by engaging in meaningful work and taking larger roles in organizational strategy and change?
On the Delve podcast, Desautels Professor Karl Moore and Lightspeed and Age of Union Founder Dax Dasilva discuss communication beyond traditional hierarchies, the value of reverse mentorship and receiving feedback, and what real equality, diversity, and inclusion can look like in an organization.
In Moore’s new book, Generation Why: How Boomers Can Lead and Learn from Millennials and Gen Z, he posits a philosophy that has played out in real life: that people over 45, with a university degree, were taught a modern worldview in their education, while people under 35 with a university degree were taught a postmodern worldview. In his investigation, he challenges traditional views of who has truth and knowledge and why.
Hear Moore and Dasilva share their thoughts on these worldviews, their experiences, and how to engage, manage, and learn from people across the generational spectrum.

What if just doing your job causes you to lose your job? New technologies have constantly replaced old technologies for hundreds of years, but new digital technologies, namely artificial intelligence and other data-driven technologies, are doing more than replacing old tech—they’re replacing the people who create those technologies in the first place.
On the Delve podcast, Alain Pinsonneault, Desautels Professor of Information Systems and IMASCO Chair in Information Technology, and fellow Desautels Professor of Information Systems Emmanuelle Vaast examine how digital technology enables and threatens occupational identity—and how data scientists cope with the associated tensions.
“Information technology is affecting several dimensions of work: it's creating new jobs, it's eliminating jobs, it's profoundly changing existing jobs,” says Pinsonneault.
“Many occupations are very affected by digital technologies today,” explains Vaast. “What we can see for data scientists is going to be seen for many other occupations: these dynamics of identities; the need to constantly redefine what we do; how different are we from other occupations; are we making ourselves obsolete? It's not a question of if it's going to happen, but when it's going to happen, and how it will happen.”

What does accounting have to do with sustainability? Essentially, everything. In general, accounting isn't the first thing that comes to mind when most people think about sustainability, whether that means climate targets or diversity on boards. But just as research and regulations around sustainability have expanded in recent years, so has sustainability accounting, focusing on activities of an organization that have a direct impact on its environmental, social, and governance aspects.
On the Delve podcast, Desautels accounting professor Brian Wenzel discusses the role of accounting and accounting research in facilitating how organizations reach their sustainability goals. For one, sustainability approaches and new global standards could be integrated into accounting practices to encompass all aspects of an organization’s performance, from the big picture to the bottom line.
“Accounting perhaps has been part of the problem with sustainability because accounting has led to short-termism inside organizations,” says Wenzel. “Next quarter’s profits are much more tangible than something that will happen five or 10 years down the road. Even if making a sacrifice now will lead to a greater good in a decade, that's harder to quantify because it's so far in the future. Accounting maybe has been part of the problem but could also solve it.”
This episode of the podcast is a collaboration between Delve, the McGill Sustainable Growth Initiative and its Director and Desautels Professor Javad Nasiry. The Sustainable Growth Initiative is also co-sponsoring the conference.
