🎧 Hey there, and welcome to "Revise and Resubmit" — the podcast where ideas get their second draft and brilliance finds its final form! 🪶 Every week, we explore how top-tier research reshapes how we think, teach, and create.
Today’s episode dives into a powerful piece from one of the world’s most prestigious academic outlets on the FT50 list — the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of the Strategic Management Society, this journal is where the sharpest minds redefine entrepreneurship at its edge. 🚀📘
This week’s research spotlight? "From critique to catalyst: How academic entrepreneurs transform negative feedback into pivots and performance," authored by D. Carrington Motley, Michael Leatherbee, and Riitta Katila, published on November 3, 2025.
Now, imagine this — academic entrepreneurs standing in the storm of critique, every question and comment slicing through their ideas. But instead of retreating, they pivot. They reshape the very core of their business ideas — not just the edges — and somehow, those adjustments turn critique into commercial triumph. 💡⚙️ From feedback to action, from rejection to rebirth — that’s the rhythm of innovation this paper captures.
Today, we’ll unpack how a negative remark can trigger the next big leap, how pivoting the inner skeleton of an idea — not just its facade — can predict success in entrepreneurial ventures. Because sometimes, it’s not about proving your critics wrong… it’s about letting them make you better.
A huge thanks to the authors — D. Carrington Motley, Michael Leatherbee, and Riitta Katila — and to John Wiley & Sons Ltd and the Strategic Management Society for publishing this remarkable research in the FT50-ranked Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal. 🙌
