Breaking News: 40 Articles Released in Organization Science So Far This Year!
This issue: From Status Goggles to Institutional Trust to Idiosyncratic Professionalization Paths
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the first issue of So Here’s the Idea, the official substack of Organization Science! In today’s newsletter, which combines the January-February and March-April issues of Organization Science, we want to share 40 (yes, 40!) articles from 96 authors from around the world. Oh, and congrats to the 55 authors who published their first articles in Organization Science in one of these two issues! Congrats as well to the many editors and reviewers who contributed to their development long before either of us arrived.
In these issues, the topics studied by our community reflect the range and diversity of our authors. Topics include entrepreneurship, the creative industries, gender and diversity, innovation, organizational learning, and much more.1
We are also trying something new here: going into our back catalog and creating Oldies But Goodies: Virtual Special Issues (because we all know how painful real special issues are!). Our first OBG is on Social Networks. Organization Science has a long history of publishing breakthrough ideas in social network theory. Below you will find a few of the wonderful papers on this topic published here.
Finally, we are launching a new section called "PDW in Your Inbox." If you have any resources that you have developed or used to make your research or teaching a little better or easier, such as case studies, tips, videos, etc., and would not mind sharing with our community, please send us an email, and we will try to include it in the newsletter. Also, if you are organizing a conference and want to reach the smartest and coolest organizations scholars in the world—we’ll help you spread the news. In the absence of such content (hint, hint), we thought we would share an engrossing video of Herb Simon discussing his "Current Research" in 1979.2
Please share our little newsletter with your family, friends, and followers:
See below for all the great articles!
Cheers,

PDW in your Inbox
Here’s a talk by Herb Simon about his “Current Research” (in 1979!). Enjoy.
Insights from our AI overlords:
Many of us have now found a new toy, ChatGPT. We couldn’t help but run some articles through this new little machine. We asked ChatGPT to help us rewrite the longest title in the last two issues using just five words. Here it is:
Original: “The Role of Resources in the Success or Failure of Diverse Teams: Resource Scarcity Activates Negative Performance-Detracting Resource Dynamics in Social Category Diverse Teams”
AI Optimized: “When Diversity Meets Scarcity: Chaos!”
Well, folks, that’s all we have for this issue. See you next month!3
Sharique and Lamar
BTW: We know these are a ton of articles. Moving forward, we’ll get you these articles in smaller chunks so you can actually read all of them.
In case we didn’t have an inferiority complex about our own research agendas already.
Ok, just one more ChatGPT gem: “Forgotten Third Parties: Analyzing the Contingent Association Between Unshared Third Parties, Knowledge Overlap, and Knowledge Transfer Relationships with Outsiders,” AI Optimized: “Who Invited These Third Parties?”
