🎙️✨ Welcome to Revise and Resubmit — the podcast where bold ideas meet brilliant minds, and academic insights get a second, deeper look.

📚 Today’s episode is not just a page-turner in the world of management research... it’s a full-on paradigm shift.

Imagine this: For decades, organizational theory has looked through a telescope aimed at the stars—at CEOs, founders, high-flyers, and elites. But what happens when we flip that telescope around and focus on the everyday lives of those overlooked? Those pushed to the margins—economically, geographically, socially, and more?

👥🌍 In their groundbreaking essay, Damon J. Phillips and Aruna Ranganathan ask us to reimagine the foundations of management thought. Published ahead of print on June 20, 2025, in the Administrative Science Quarterly — yes, the prestigious, FT50-listed ASQ — their work calls on researchers to center marginalized voices and adopt an intersectional lens that spans six powerful dimensions: demographic, economic, educational, geographic, cultural, and social.

📖🔍 This isn’t just about representation. It’s about transforming theory itself—making it more inclusive, more grounded, and more real.

So here’s the question we leave you with today:

👉 What kind of management knowledge are we missing when we only listen to those already in power?

🎧 Big thanks to the authors Damon J. Phillips and Aruna Ranganathan, and to SAGE Publications for bringing this powerful piece to life.
