Ep 152Management Research: Strategic Management - Stakeholder Analysis

Welcome, dear friends and listeners! In today's show, I talk about the #stakeholders and a simple way to organise them and #manage them. Based on the two scales - level of interest and level of power - stakeholders can be approached in a structured way. When developing your #strategy, you should always think about whose #interest you are developing it. Enjoy, subscribe, share, and comment - I am eager to know your opinion! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 151Management Research: Strategic Management - Roles of Strategy

Welcome, dear listeners, to the next #episode in my #management #research #podcast! Today, I talk about the roles of strategy: - decision-making support, - coordination device, - targeting and motivation, and - animation and orientation.

Ep 150Management Research: Strategic Management - Intended vs Emergent Strategy

Welcome, dear listeners, to the next #episode in the #management #research #podcast! Today, I talk about the intended and emergent strategy. These are two opposing poles in the approach to #strategising. Would you make a very precise plan and stick to it (#intendedstrategy) or will you try to remain flexible and grasp any opportunity that emerges on the market (#emergentstrategy)? In real life, the #strategies and strategising of firms and individuals are somewhere in between. Enjoy, share, comment, and subscribe - it does matter! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 149Management Research: Strategic Management - Strategic Moves

Dear friends In my previous episode, I gave examples of strategic moves in #warinukraine. In this episode, I give a definition and provide you with some examples of #strategic moves at an individual's and a firm's level. In the end, I also share with you my vision regarding #tourism #investments in #Tyrol and #Innsbruck that I hold for wrong strategic moves, by the way. I am eager to hear your examples and feedback!

Ep 148Management Research: Strategic Management - Strategic Moves in the Ukraine War

Hello, dear listeners, Today's episode will give examples of #strategic #moves in the #active #phase of the #warinukraine. The most active phase of the #war started in 2022, while the war has been going on since 2014. After February 2022, one could trace several strategic moves (it is not the whole strategy, of course), i.e. decisions that shaped the #battlefield for weeks, months, and years. Think of one of my previous episodes with the example from the #chess #game. In a war, the logic is the same, yet more #complex, more #uncertain, and #unpredictable. Tough #planning is, therefore, impossible. But a good strategic move can make your further play/war easier, providing you with more #flexibility and #decisionpower. Learn from this episode and share your thoughts in the comments section. Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 147Management Research: Strategic Management - Strategy as Positioning vs Strategy as Direction

Welcome to my new #managementresearch #podcast episode! Today, I discuss #strategy as #positioning and strategy as #direction. Suppose you want to be successful and have motivated personnel. In that case, you have to define your correct #corporate and #business strategy as positioning first - which industry are you competing in and how are you competing right now? Yet, it is not sufficient as people need a goal. So, you need to add your personnel a feeling of perspective - where you want to be in a few years and how you want to compete by then. This is called "strategy as direction". In this episode, I elaborate on this topic and give imaginary and real examples from the #mci strategy. Enjoy and share your ideas. By the way, how do you see our strategy? How do you see the strategy of your firm? Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 146Management Research: Strategic Management - Corporate vs Business Strategy

Ep 145Management Research: Strategic Management - Origins of Strategy

Welcome, dear listeners! In today's #episode, I am talking about the origins of #strategy. Interestingly, the strategy in #business has a lot in common with the strategy in #military. According to some scholars, business took over the ideas, structure, and work organising from those organisations we have been good at since the beginning of mankind. It seems that humankind learned to fight long before it learned to do business. Would you agree? Enjoy, #comment, #share, and #subscribe - it does matter. Not because of #monetisation (I don't have any) but because I want to know how many of you listen to the episodes and read the description ;) Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 144Management Research: Strategic Management - Strategic Moves in Chess

Welcome, dear listeners! My students often ask me to give some #examples during our #strategic #management course. I use examples from different fields. Yet, many are now interested in #chess after the new movie “The Queen’s Gambit” (2021) or because chess is associated with #wisdom and #intelligence. At least, about half of the students from my class know how to play chess and about 5 per cent say they are good at chess. Consequently, I ask them what are examples of "strategic moves" in chess. In this episode, I elaborate on the example from chess to illustrate the strategic moves for your firm or for your personal career.

Ep 143Management Research: Strategic Management - 3 Pillars of a Successful Strategy

Welcome, dear listeners, to the next #episode in my new mini-series dedicated to #strategicmanagement! Today, I talk about, what I call, three pillars of a #successful #strategy. The pillars are very simple, but these are exactly the simple things that are hard to follow... In #strategic #management, the planning horizon is so big and the complexity is so high that the three pillars may require plenty of time to elaborate on them. Would you agree? I hope you enjoy the #podcast. Feel free to #comment, #share, and #subscribe - it does matter! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 142Management Research: Strategic Management - Level of Abstraction

Hello and welcome to my new mini-series on Strategic Management! Today, I have an introductory episode where I focus on two types of #thinking - a low level of #construal (#concrete) and a high level of construal (#abstract) thinking. In #strategicmanagement, you mostly need very abstract thinking as your decisions have a time horizon of 3 to 5 years! This is one of the reasons why some students are very good at #strategic management - they can easily switch to a high level of abstraction and think forward. As promised in the episode, I provide you with a map that I used last year in my class: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365712524_Strategic_Management_Treasure_Map To draw this map, I used the free (basic) account of #Inkarnate (https://inkarnate.com/).

Ep 140Management Research: Games People Play - Parallels to Identity Theory

Welcome, dear listeners, today, I share the next episode of my #management #research #podcast. In this episode, I address one of your suggestions regarding the current topic - #psychological #games by Eric #Berne. In his suggestion, Mr @Despotovic proposed to treat three ego states as three types of identity (i.e., applying the #identitytheory). Although there are some issues with the compatibility of this view: a. #identity types can be combined more easily b. parent role integrated both the #roleidentity (parent) and #socialgroup belonging (parents talking to each other) c. the theory by Berne focuses on communication only while identity theory has a broader scope still the suggestion is VERY good and may indicate an interesting avenue for future research and maybe even #reconciliation of these theories. Enjoy, comment, share, and send me your ideas! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 139Management Research: Games People Play - Collective Calls

Hello and welcome to my podcast, dear friends and guests, Today, I continue with our mini-series on #psychological #games as postulated by Eric #Berne. In this #management #research #podcast episode, I briefly explain how to avoid psychological games, especially if there was an "official call" - the #game has been announced in front of a #team and you cannot individually avoid playing. I wish you all the best in your communication! Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas and let me know what you want to listen to in the next episodes! Enjoy, share, subscribe, and comment - it does matter! Best Yevgen (Eugene) PS. I apologise for the 1-week-delay - I had a stressful week and weekend and could not upload the new episode.

Ep 138Management Research: Games People Play - Postitive Games

Hello and welcome dear friends In this episode, we continue talking about #psychological #games as suggested by Eric #Berne. When analysing how people interact with each other, Eric Berne discovered that some games can be positive for both parties. In this episode, I provide you with an example of such a #game. Moreover, I briefly discuss whether one should engage in playing both #positive and #negative games. Enjoy, share, comment, and subscribe - it does matter, at least to me personally.

Ep 137Management Research: Games People Play - NIGYSOB Game

Welcome, dear listeners, to the next episode of my #management #research #podcast! Today, I present you another #psychological #game suggested by Eric #Berne in his book "Games People Play" - #NIGYSOB. This is an interesting game as I observe it in several #relationships in #business and #family. More about the game in this #episode. Enjoy, #comment, #share, and #subscribe - how else can I know that you are interested?! ;) Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 136Management Research: Games People Play - Kick Me Game

Hello dear listeners! Today, I give you an #example of a #psychological #game called "Kick Me" in the book of Eric Berne. This game is about #victim #behaviour. It also explains why the #victim - #aggressor #relationships are relatively stable and even tend to get entrenched in people's behaviour and even become a lifestyle. If you know "victims" - those to whom something constantly happens and who say "Why is it always happening to me?!", you might be interested in this episode.

Ep 135Management Research: Games People Play - Psychological Games

Welcome to the next episode in my mini-series dedicated to #psychological #games as suggested by worldwide known #psychoanalyst Eric #Berne. In this episode, I briefly explain game dynamics and provide an example of a (as to my experience) trendy psychological game played in the office. This game, as well as many other games, leads to the emotional exhaustion of one of the parties participating in this game, unfortunately. Listen to this episode to avoid this #trap and to understand in which situations your conversation is not a true conversation but just a collection of #psychological moves aiming at #suppression or evoking #anger.

Ep 134Management Research: Games People Play - Congruent Modes of Relatioships

Hello, dear listeners! I am happy to post the next episode in my mini-series on #psychologicalgames as suggested by Eric #Berne. In this #episode, we talk about the #congruent modes of relationships - those that do not cause conflicts. At the end, we also shortly address the two types of #incongruent #relationships - those that usually lead to #conflicts. Feel free to share your observations in the comments section - I am eager to know whether the suggestions by Eric Berne hold for your observations.

Ep 133Management Research: Games People Play - Egos States in the Theory of Eric Berne

Hello and welcome to my next episode in the mini-series dedicated to #psychological #games as postulated by Eric #Berne! In this episode, I discuss the key element in this #theory - three #ego states. Berne argues that in any conversation it is not only person A is talking to person B but at a meta-level one of the ego states of person A communicates with the ego state of person B. Berne suggests three #egos - #Child-I, #Parent-I, and #Adult-I. Consequently, no matter what is being said, the #conversation can run between two children, two parents, two adults, or a parent and a child. This element is crucial to understanding why we sometimes end up with #conflicts or how #psychilogocialgames come to life. About these topics, I will talk in the next episode of my #podcast.

Ep 132Management Research: Games People Play - Introduction to the Theory of Eric Berne

Hello and welcome, dear listeners! Today, I start a new #podcast mini-series dedicated to the #transactional #analysis as postulated by @Eric Berne. His ideas may help you understand the issues in #communication and prevent #conflicts in your #team or even in your #privatelife. In this episode, I briefly introduce the #scholar. In the next episode, we will talk about his #theory and how it can be observed in #humancommunication. Wish you all the best!

Ep 131Research Methods: Measuring How People Think - Causal Mapping as a Positivist vs a Constructivist Tool

Hello dear friends Today, I finalise my #podcast mini-series on #causalmapping - a method to measure how people think. In this #episode, I discuss the #positivism and #constructuvism. The episode is not about the #philosophy of #research but how this #methodology could be #published. I concluded that #causal #mapping may be a good fit for those who try to pursue the #mixedmethods approach. The reason is that causal mapping is easy to understand for both types of reviewers and might be your way out of the conflicts with #reviewers. Good luck with your research! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 130Research Methods: Measuring How People Think - Analysing Data from a Causal Map

Hello and welcome! Today, I discuss what to do with the #data you collected with a #causalmap. You will have many distances from each person to all others (like a #correlation table). In our #dataanalysis, we applied #clustering - we clustered people based on their #similarity regarding the #mental #models. Later, you can use this cluster variable as your #dependentvariable when you look at what #causes similarity between people. Or you can use the cluster variable as a predictor, i.e. look at the consequences for #like-minded people. If it is not fully clear from my talk (I was a bit too emotional about our #findings), feel free to read our #academic #paper! Good luck with your investigations!

Ep 129Research Methods: Measuring How People Think - Operationalisation of a Causal Map

Hello, dear friends, colleagues, researchers, and students In this episode, I talk about the #practicalsteps of #settingup a #causalmap in a #survey #software, such as @limesurvey, @qualtrics, or similar. After you have developed your theory and created a list of items, you need to know what to do with it and how to implement it in the available survey tool. Drop me an email, if you need the plugin - I believe I should have it somewhere ;) Good luck with your #research! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 128Research Methods: Measuring How People Think - Comparing Causal Maps

Hello and welcome In this episode, I talk about how to #compare #causalmaps of two different people. There is a #formula that you can find in the papers that I list below. In the episode, I explain the logic behind the #measurement. Even though the procedure might look "scary", it is a simple calculation of the distances as you count the #distance between two dots on the #coordinatesystem. If you understand the logic behind the formula, you will quickly understand how the #calculation is performed. Good luck with your #investigation! Here are the links: 1.

Ep 127Research Methods: Measuring How People Think - List of Items for Causal Mapping

Hello and welcome to the next episode on my sub-channel "Research Methods"! Indeed, we #analyse not only topics from #managementresearch but also how to conduct this #research. Today, I continue talking about a specific #researchmethod - Causal Mapping. #causalmapping is a method that allows you to depict a #mentalmodel of an individual and even compare different individuals based on their #mental model. In this episode, I talk about two ways to develop a list of items for the further evaluation of mental models: based on qualitative interviews and based on literature.

Ep 126Research Methods: Measuring How People Think - Mental Models and Causal Mapping

Hello dear friends and listeners It's been a while since I published an episode on #researchmethods. But the time has come! And today, we are going to talk about how to #measure how people think. We can approach this "how people think" via mental models - a network of concepts related to the object or event of interest. What are the first things that come to your mind if you think of a "dog"? Write these words down. Ask somebody else the same question. Do you have identical lists of terms? Do they differ? Congratulations, you made your first step to #mentalmodel #measurement!

Ep 125Management Research: Motivation - Volition & Rubicon Model

Hello dear friends and colleagues In this #podcast #episode, I am talking about the topic of #volition. I am finalising our #mini-series on #motivation and volition is a perfect topic for the final episode. Volition is about moving from "#willing" to "#acting". There is a model that we call the #rubicon model. As with the river Rubicon - those who crossed it, could conquer Rome - if you cross the border between wanting and acting, you will achieve your set #goal.

Ep 124Management Research: Motivation - Ukraine Warfare and the Self-determination Theory of Motivation

Dear listeners In this episode, I give you an example of how to apply the #self-determination #theory of #motivation to situations of high uncertainty such as the running #warfare in #Ukraine. Once, I applied the theory and I think it helped one of the local organisations to better understand how to treat #immigrants running from war. I hope that you will enjoy this episode too!

Dear listeners In the previous episode of my podcast, we started talking about the there factors from the #self-dtermination #theory of #motivation as suggested by @Deci and @Ryan. Today, we continue elaborating on the topic. We talk about #relatedness and #autonomy and how they shape our motivation to walk the extra mile. Have you ever thought about why we #hate #deadlines?

Ep 122Management Research: Motivation - Competence in the Self-determination Theory of Motivation

Dear listeners In today's #episode, I start talking about #factors that may shift the #regulatory style of #motivation towards the one closest to #intrinsic motivation. These are competence, autonomy, and relatedness. In this episode, I talk about the feeling of #competence. I show in my example how this factor changes how you perceive a task.

Ep 121Management Research: Motivation - Regulatory Styles in the Self-determination Theory of Motivation

Welcome to the next episode of my podcast! Today, I talk about #extrinsicmotivation. Interestingly, @Deci and @Ryan suggested that within #extrinsic #motivation, there can be several different regulations (#regulatorystyles). For instance, being motivated through #rewardandpunishment is not the same as being motivated by helping your parents; yet, both mentioned examples are extrinsically motivated. Moreover, sometimes extrinsically motivated activities can be performed with efforts close to those from #intrinsic motivation. Do you want to know more? Listen to this episode!

Hello and welcome to my next #podcast #episode dedicated to the #self-determination #theoryofmotivation! In this episode, we talk about three types of motivation: intrinsic, extrinsic, and amotivation. Initially from @Deci and @Ryan, the Self-determination #theory of motivation sheds light on the individual and what drives her to perform better or worse tasks. This theory became one of the most known and applicable in the field of organisational and individual @psychology. Enjoy, #comment, #share, and #subscribe - it does matter! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 119Management Research: Motivation - Crises and Shocks in Hygiene Theory of Motivation

Welcome, dear listeners! In our today's #podcast #episode, we continue talking about #motivation. Once I received an invitation to hold a speech on #warinukraine, where they asked me to explain how #refugees feel when they have to #flee from #war in #Ukraine. I decided to talk about how people feel from the point of view of #Herzberg 's #theoryofmotivation. We can look at the war in Ukraine in two phases: Hygiene #shock and, later, Hygiene #crisis. If you want to know more about the effects of war on motivation, listen to this episode. In the next episode, we are going to talk about a different theory of motivation. We will also try to apply this new theory to #warfare and #immigration. Stay with me, if you are interested in the topic! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 118Management Research: Motivation - Dynamism in Hygiene Theory of Motivation

Welcome, dear students, friends, and colleagues, to the next episode of my podcast! Today, I continue talking about the #Hygienethory or the 2-Factor #theoryofmotivation by Herzberg. In his paper in 1974, Herzberg showed that the initially proposed two factors of #dissatisfaction and #motivation are contingent on the type of activity (e.g. assembly line has a completely different motivational profile than a consultancy) as well as on the external factors. A #hygieneshock as a rapid change of #topmanagement or #mergers and #acquisition will make some elements from the dissatisfaction factor to motivators. A longer crisis, such as #covid-19 or #ukrainewar might lead to a hygiene crisis. This is, by the way, the aspect that we are going to talk about in the next episode.

Ep 117Management Research: Motivation - Hygiene Theory of Motivation

Hello and welcome In our episode today, we are going to talk about #motivation. The topic of motivation is a bit outdated - in research, we know a lot about motivation. Yet, as #practitioners, we still make mistakes when trying to make our #employees, #managers, or #students walk an extra mile. Today, I talk about the #Maslow pyramid and the, in my opinion, better approach by #Herzberg. Herzberg proposed the #Hygiene Theory of Motivation, also known as the two-factor #theoryofmotivation. Enjoy and share your opinion in the comments section below! I am eager to hear your thoughts about this approach. Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 116Management Research: Relational Models Theory - Measurement Issues

Hello and welcome, dear listeners! Today, I finalise the mini-series on the Relational Models Theory. I talk about the measurement issues. Usually, we used the questionnaire from the paper of @Haslam and @Fiske in 1999. Yet, we encountered (and keep encountering) issues with the measurement. Recently, @Zakharing and @Bates (2023) made an overview of the case and proposed some suggestions. Yet, the measurement issue also reflects the practitioners' problem - some relational models are hard to distinguish and conflicts appear.

Ep 115Management Research: Relational Models Theory - IT Capability & Heuristics

Welcome! Today, I continue elaborating on the #relationalmodelstheory. In our recent paper with Professor Jürgen Moormann, we showed that the relational models theory can be used to understand and shape interrelationships in IT teams that, in turn, might strengthen the IT capability of a firm. Theoretically, if you, as a project manager, signal what kind of relationships the team will have, the interactions will become more efficient and effective. Consequently, the IT capability will be strong. If you prefer the "Láissez-fáire" approach, the misunderstandings and conflicts within your team will undermine the IT capability. The same might happen if the relational models expectations set by your company go at odds with those preferred by your team. Do you want to know more?

Ep 114Management Research: Relational Models Theory - Signalling

Welcome, dear friends and colleagues, In this episode, I continue elaborating on #conflicts and how to avoid them using the #relationalmodelstheory. #relationships is a complex issue and it is sometimes hard to understand what the #parties expect from each other. Yet, our theory helps us understand the actions that we can interpret as signals concerning the other party's preferences. In this episode, I share two situations that elucidate how to (mis)interpret the signals from your friends (or colleagues, or neighbours, or your family members). Feel free to share your thoughts concerning these situations and your life situations in #comments. #share your experience and #share this episode with those whom you would like to help.

Ep 113Management Research: Relational Models Theory - Concerning Conflicts

Hello dear friends and colleagues As promised, I dedicate this #podcast #episode to #conflicts. There are many reasons for conflicts as well as there are plenty of theories that explain the mechanisms of conflicts' appearance. I want to share with you an explanation of why misunderstandings might appear due to the relational models' mismatch. If you listened to the previous episode from this mini-series on the #relationalmodelstheory, you are well equipped for today's episode. Enjoy, share, comment, and subscribe - it does matter to me.

Ep 112Management Research: Relational Models Theory - Our Preferences

Dear friends and colleagues In this episode of our mini-series on #RelationalModels, we discuss our preferences concerning model selection. Indeed, our personal, cultural, and professional backgrounds impact the mode of #relations we prefer when interacting with other people.

Ep 111Management Research: Relational Models Theory - Market Pricing

Dear listeners In my today's episode, I talk about the last (fourth) model of relationships proposed by @Alan Fiske in his #ReltaionalModelsTheory. This is the model, that we learn last in our life, at the age of 14+ (please check the initial paper of Fiske (1991), it's been a while since I read it). Anyway, this is the model that is usually associated with the relationships in firms, i.e. business relationships. Yet, I observed this model in different settings, also in a family. I hope you will find this episode interesting. In the next episodes, we may talk about the reasons for conflicts and how to avoid them using the Relational Models Theory.

Ep 110Management Research: Relational Models Theory - Authority Ranking

Hello and welcome to the next episode in my #podcast mini-series on #relationalmodelstheory! Today, we focus on the asymmetric model of #relationships - authority ranking. When I explain this model to my students, I ask them to think about #military services, where an officer has more power but also more responsibility than a soldier.

Ep 109Management Research: Relational Models Theory - Equality Matching

Hello and welcome to my next episode dedicated to the Relational Models Theory! Today, I continue my mini-series on Relational Models - a concept stemming from an anthropological theory. In his observations, Alan Fiske proposed four models of relationships: communal sharing, equality matching, authority ranking, and market pricing. In my today's episode, I talk about the equality matching model of relationships. Enjoy, comment, subscribe, and share - it does matter! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Ep 108Management Research: Relational Models Theory - Communal Sharing

Hello and welcome to the next #podcast episode of my new mini-series on the Relational Models Theory (#relationalmodelstheory). Today, I talk about the first of four models (or modes) of #relationships as proposed by Professor @Alan Fiske - Communal Sharing. When I explain the #CommunalSharing model to my students, I ask them to imagine an "archetypical" or "ideal" vision of a family in our society. Initially, the idea came from #primitivetribes many thousand years ago - when each member of the tribe was responsible for the tribe's survival. #Enjoy, #subscribe, #share, and #comment - it does matter!

Ep 107Management Research: Relational Models Theory - An Overview

Welcome dear listeners In one of my last episodes on heuristics, I referred to the Relational Models Theory and suggested listening to the episodes dedicated to the theory. And then I discovered that I planned to but did not record any episodes on this fascinating theory. Today, I've corrected the mistake by starting a new mini-series on the Relational Models Theory - a very powerful theory that social sciences inherited from anthropology.

Ep 106Management Research: How a Firm’s Information System Helps Develop a Set of Heuristics

Hello everybody This is the final episode in our mini-series on heuristics. In this episode, I present our conceptual model that explains how information systems may help firms develop efficient heuristics. Yet, the number of heuristics may go at odds with the cognitive load.

Ep 105Management Research: Relational Models as Heuristics

Hello everybody In this episode, I present you with one of our theories. We apply the Relational Models Theory in the firm domain. We argue that each relational model can be seen as a set of heuristics that might help firms increase the quality of communication within the team and reduce the number of conflicts. In our paper, we also deduce the quality of a firm's IT capability based on the congruency of relationships within a firm.

Ep 104Management Research: Universal Heuristics at an Organisational Level

Hello and welcome Today we talk about the universal heuristics at the level of an organisation. Together with my colleague Professor Jürgen Moormann, we wrote a paper where we argue that there is something like System 1 processes, intuitive processes that run at the level of an organisation.

Ep 103Management Research: Individual Heuristics at an Organisational Level

Welcome to the next episode in our mini-series on heuristics! Today, we approach the rules that organisations develop individually to address the complexity of decision-making. I call these heuristics - individual heuristics at the organisational level. In the next episode, we will talk about universal organisational heuristics. Enjoy, share, subscribe, and provide your examples of the heuristics in the comments section below. Best Eugene (Yevgen)
