🚨New paper alert!🚨 Women are less likely to enter competitions than men—even when equally qualified. But telling them this can change behavior. 📈 In a field experiment on a job application platform, we found that highlighting this gender gap increased the # of job apps women submitted by ~20%.

"I have an uneasy feeling, for instance, that if the computer had been around at the time of Copernicus, nobody would have bothered with him, because the computers could have handled the Ptolemaic epicycles with perfect ease" - Kenneth Boulding, 1966 (found in Davies' The Unaccountability Machine)

If you’re in #Boston tonight, you’ve got 4 more hours to look across the river at the gazetothestars.com installation at #MIT looking back at you

Cambridge Bike Give Back is great and Lonnell is a fantastic founder. I was happy to see my much loved (but no longer needed) mountain bike find a new and better home through him.

Had a great time on the Business Talk podcast with Deepak Bhatt. We talk about my research on the dangers of prototyping in tech ecosystems (and some best practices too) youtu.be/NXHyT8uWWco #entrepreneurship #mgmtsky

Our dept (Entrepreneurship & Strategy) at U of Utah is hiring a Post Doc for a July 2025 start. If you are graduating this Spring with a PhD in Strategy or Economics (or related fields) please see the posting and apply! utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/178...

Got the 2nd R&R! Celebrate the small wins 💪 🎉

Developing a list of Org Scholars and Scholarship. Let me know if you would like to be added!!! @aomconnect.bsky.social @aomsim.bsky.social @orgscience.bsky.social @orgstudies.bsky.social @orgtheory.bsky.social @conflictmanagement.bsky.social

How can we combat vaccine disinformation? In my recent paper with Mia Chang-Zunino, we argue that simply countering vaccine skepticism with scientific facts is unlikely to be effective. Instead, the key lies in addressing moral divides. Read more here: lnkd.in/d6_DNDsJ

If you're new to Bluesky (welcome!) or just looking for some new folks to follow - check out the WOB starter pack It has 140 researchers studying DEI, sustainability, activism, emotions, employment, entrepreneurship, HR, negotiations, and many other topics related to organizations #academicsky

A timely post from #ASQ editors about the impat of #GenAI on academic publishing. In short, if we seek the generatively easier road it will hurt the quality of organizational scholarship. asqjournal.substack.com/p/the-human-...

Everyone wants extra time. Everyone thinks it gives an advantage. But that's just not how it works. Instead, we need inclusive assessment, based on principles of universal design for learning.

Hello Blue Sky! I’m a Boston-based photographer and content creator that loves sharing the beauty of New England. If you’d like to see daily photos and videos from Boston and New England, follow along! #boston

What do parents do in an adaptive labor market when infant care goes away? Perhaps most interesting is what FATHERS do. 👀👀👀 Check out our newest paper below. 👇👇👇

This figure - $1.7M *MEDIAN* net worth - is insane

"Submissions of both empirical and theoretical papers, from scholars who are early in their careers, from researchers with and without NBER affiliations, and from scholars who are members of groups that are underrepresented in the economics profession, are welcome." Submit your paper!

My only contribution to the news today is that I took a girl to see Mulholland Drive as a first date in high school. Dear readers, it was a poor choice.

FWIW, I think business schools are in trouble if the world (and our prospective students) believe that our product makes them bad people. First image is from Fabrizio, Pfeffer, and Sutton (2005). journals.aom.org/doi/10.5465/...

I think it's remarkable how quickly Google went from helping users find information to "provide any answer as fast as possible."

So this is specifically about Gaiman, but it is a Good Take that bears out in nerdy spaces like tech, and definitely in academia. When ppl at the bottom of the ladder gain power, they may absolve themselves of the responsibility (or ability) to see their own behavior as abusive.

🚨 New Paper 🚨 1/ What drives STEM researchers to pursue entrepreneurship? Our new publication in Research Policy, @inaganguli.bsky.social, Nilanjana Dasgupta, and I explore this question. Key Takeaway: Social impact framing increased women's interest in entrepreneurship 🧵 #econsky

Please urge your department chairs, deans, and other administrators not to cave in to politics, and to continue participation in The PhD Project. I (and hundreds of others) would never have considered an academic path if not for the PhD Project’s recruitment & mentoring support.

I disagree (podcasts can be great), but this IS a chance to share one of my favorite quotes on writing

Ten days left to submit to the Industry Studies Association conference, June 4-6 in Cambridge (at MIT). ISA draws a super crowd of management, innovation, and policy folks united by a desire to do deep, empirical research on industries. #mgmtsky #orgstudies www.industrystudies.org/isa-2025-con...

So interesting! Not only are bean-to-bar chocolate companies unusually likely to be founded by couples (>50% of ventures in the sample!), but they are *also* more likely to stay in business. Partner piece to their recently accepted Discoveries article: journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.5...

For SoCal friends, Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can. For more info, visit Instagram: mutualaidla

With fires in LA still burning (but hopefully not for long), here's a thread about what we know about entrepreneurship in the wake of (and during) natural disasters 🔥 (🧵 1/15)

Looking for things to do in late May? Submit your work on digitization, innovation, and IP to the www.munich-summer-institute.org by Feb 15. Join us for great food, city walks, urban surfing (if you like), and two exciting keynote speakers (@proffionasm.bsky.social and @michelag.bsky.social)

A new follower, obviously in response to my order, “Give me your most millennial bot account, stuffed with your second most millennial bot account”

I think often about this experiment at Harvard showing active learning upped test scores by 33%... but students thought they were learning more from non-active lectures The problem: being challenged is the key to learning BUT we hate challenges, they are hard & make you realize how little you know.

Very cool new paper by Jiayi Bao at @tamu.bsky.social: #Makerspaces lead to more startups. This is driven by intentional (vs accidental) hardware founders - i.e., its not about ppl playing & discovering ideas, but by deliberate experimentation & prototyping! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

🧵Rapid Response: Air Filters for LA We are providing fans and filters to help LA residents breathe cleaner air during these devastating fires. Follow this thread for updates and how to get involved. Donate to support: paypal.com/donate?campa...

It’s also not ecologically efficient to sort & ship loads of tiny donations piecemeal. Donate your items locally and send money to distant disasters through orgs that can manage to get exactly what’s needed at scale.

Donating money is often the best (and easiest) thing we can do to help those in a crisis: Folks on the ground are often best positioned to know what is needed and where it should go. The question is who to donate to. Here are a couple helpful options.

Open call for applications, NBER Entrepreneurship Research Boot Camp 2025. Workshop to be held in Cambridge, MA on July 14-18, 2025. Submit applications by 11:59pm EDT on February 15, 2025.

So there is a thread on the economics of the newspaper industry and how to save journalism and, correct me if I’m wrong, it starts with a chat about startup financing between the founder of Craigslist and…a porn bot account?

If you live in the LA area & need respiratory protection, please go to www.planethalohealth.com -- they offer free masks in the LA area. They were a supplier and donor to Project N95 when we were in operation. Please repost this so that a wider audience can benefit. #LA #California #Wildfires

Same here. Sure, I recycle and give to my local library, but am I creating enough shareholder value?

Other options include an automatic tweet: “Going offline permanently, bestie. Literally. Don’t forget to like and subscribe to my obituary #LastPost #NoFilter #NoHeartBeat #RIPme.”

You can't private-firefighter your way out of natural disasters. We'll all be in this together, eventually.

Seems like a good time to remind folks that even if you are safe from fires, breathing smoke is, like, really bad. A DIY air filter can help. #wildfire #pacificpalisades #crbox

Wondering what needs to happen to respond to the ever-growing wildfire crisis? A group of 17 coauthors—from government, science, philanthropy, and business—collaborated on this article outlining the urgent needs and promising opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and investment.

FYI - problems with #AOM2025 submission so they've given an additional 7 hours for submissions

Big shout out to schools that allow me to *just upload my reference letter* rather than asking for a long and idiosyncratic list of short answers, quantile ratings, and vibe checks. My students are great, and smart, **and they apply to more than just your one program***

For #PhD students researching generative AI in management and adjacent fields: the AI Plus Management Doctoral Consortium is now accepting applications (deadline 31 Jan). There will be opportunities to present and share research for students at all stages. For more info: www.aiplusmanagement.com

Lots of lovely (and sometimes sad) thoughts here

Course materials costs can add up for students, but there are ways to help. I've been able to build my intro undergrad #entrepreneurship course using only free materials. Here’s what I did – plus thread and resources. Please add your own! #academicsky #academicchatter
