🎙️ Welcome back to another episode of Revise and Resubmit! 📝✨
This is the podcast where groundbreaking research meets real-world relevance, where we dive deep into the papers that shape how we think, work, lead, and live.

Today’s episode is titled “Reengaging with the Classics”, and oh, we’re about to dust off some intellectual treasures. 💥📚

👓 Imagine you’re a doctoral student, buried under a pile of readings, and there it is again—that same old name. Another theory from 1972. And you ask, “Why are we still reading this?”

But what if the answer to your AI startup’s team crisis…
What if the leadership lessons your polarized boardroom needs…
What if the blueprint for innovation in your digital-first firm…
—what if all of that could be found in the very pages you were about to skim through with a yawn? 😮🔥

🧠 In this riveting editorial from the Academy of Management Journal—yes, one of the prestigious FT50 journals that defines the gold standard of academic excellence—authors Y. Sekou Bermiss, Crystal I. C. Farh, Tal Simons, Anne L. J. ter Wal, Georg Von Krogh, and Marc Gruber argue that revisiting the past is not about nostalgia… it’s about perspective.

They introduce us to three bold pathways for reviving the classics:
🔁 Revise – updating foundational theories for today’s context,
🔀 Repurpose – applying timeless ideas to brand-new challenges, and
🔍 Rediscover – uncovering buried wisdom in neglected texts.

💡So here’s the real question:
If the past still speaks to us, are we truly listening—or just flipping pages on autopilot?

🧠📖 Huge thanks to the brilliant authors and the Academy of Management, the powerhouse behind this thought-provoking publication.
