AMR Origins Series - Nan Jia and Tim Werner - Theoretical Light in Empirical Darkness

  • 1.  AMR Origins Series - Nan Jia and Tim Werner - Theoretical Light in Empirical Darkness

    Posted 06-15-2023 13:51
    Episode 39 of the AMR Origins Series is a discussion with Nan Jia (USC) and Tim Werner (UT Austin) about their AMR article coauthored with Stanislav Markus titled "Theoretical Light in Empirical Darkness: Illuminating Strategic Concealment of Corporate Political Activity".


    Some of the fascinating ideas and insights emerging from this episode include: 
    • A discussion about developing and using theory to understand and account for phenomena that are often hidden and hence not easily observed or measured empirically (e.g. concealed corporate political activity)  
    • A recognition that some theoretical insights and opportunities are often right in front of us (e.g. in the material we teach), but we may be overlooking them because we are not using the right lens or perspective to incoproate them
    • Maximizing the value and input of a co-author team with different backgrounds, training, and theoretical orientations
