About the Event
It鈥檚 time to unlearn zombie management wisdoms. The crisis of replication in social psychology has highlighted how many of the established theories we rely on in curriculum and organisations become misappropriated, discredited, debunked, or are no longer context appropriate as the world moves on. This has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which threw into question or invalidated established business logics and practices. Many such theories in need of retiring can be found in organizational behaviour and social psychology (e.g. social primes, growth mindset, work-life balance), management and strategy (e.g. disruptive innovation, intrapreneurship, network effects), and are popularised by bestsellers and TED talks. These findings live on in the media, organisations, and among our students and alumni.聽
