PublicationA conceptual approach to systematizing mechanisms for financing cash-strapped suppliers in supply networks( 2023-07-19)Multi-tier Supply Chain Financing (MTSCF) has been identified as a compelling solution to support the growth and development of small and cash-strapped suppliers, particularly in developing countries. Currently, the research focus on MTSCF is primarily on its technological function, which is based on blockchain technology. However, from a technology-agnostic perspective, MTSCF combines multi-tiered supply chain management with the concept of SCF, which essentially describes the approaches of extending financing mechanisms to the deeper levels of supply chains. In this presentation, existing MTSCF mechanisms are differentiated to develop a systematic framework that can be used to categorize the mechanisms. In this way, the basis for further developing innovative MTSCF solutions is providedType: conference speech

PublicationA Design Thinking Approach for Designing Careers: Finding Authenticity and Increasing Self-Efficacy( 2020-08-07)The current work environment, characterized by high mobility, career interruptions and temporary work, requires management students to actively design their career trajectories and re-design them as circumstances change. Departing from traditional one-on-one coaching sessions, we investigate the effectiveness of a collaborative life design method based on Design thinking and conducted in large groups. Through a quasi-experiment we find that students who attended the life design workshop significantly increased their Positive Psychological Capital (specifically self-efficacy, resilience and hope), their self-esteem and the presence of meaning in life. The qualitative data analysis revealed that the intervention allowed students to broaden their sight on life, discover authenticity by reframing their measures of success. Business schools could consider offering courses on career design with a collaborative design thinking approach to support students in learning a methodology which could better equip them to navigate the future of work.Type: conference speech

PublicationAdaptive factor modeling( 2024-03-15)We consider the classical factor model of Jöreskog (1969) within a change point detection framework with the aim of discovering intervals of local homogeneity of the model. Our tests for structural breaks in the variance (homogeneity in variance) as well as both in the mean and the variance (complete homogeneity) are based on a maximum statistic of sequential generalized likelihood ratios. We approximate the small-sample distribution by means of a multiplier bootstrap. To handle the high-dimensional parameter problem, we suggest a novel bias correction for the multiplier bootstrap. Simulations show that the tests perform very well in terms of size and power. In our empirical application, we study structural breaks for moderately sized equity portfolios.Type: conference speech

PublicationAgeist technologies, ageist societies? Understanding the discourse about old age and digital technologies in FranceThis paper explores the representation of older people and their relationship with digital technologies in French mainstream media and professional debates during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Among other societal issues that the Covid-19 pandemic has revealed in recent years, the place of and the issue of care for older people has received significant attention from politicians, civil society organizations and professionals from the healthcare sector. The mainstream media played a significant role in highlighting the issue and French people have increasingly relied on them to inform themselves. The nature of the problem at hand is twofold. On the one hand, academics demonstrated how the pandemic has revealed the underlying ageism operating in industrial countries (Ayalon, 2020). Others alerted us to how it fostered the harmful ideology of techno-solutionism (Milan, 2020). However, only a few have attempted to examine these issues together (Gallistl et al., 2021).Moreover, the issue at stake goes beyond the pandemic. The population’s ageing has been framed as causing multiple problems on the political, economic and social level. Digital technologies are increasingly promoted as solutions to any type of ‘problems’ (Morozov, 2014). Yet, suggesting a digital answer to the societal challenge caused by the demographic transition is reductive and harmful for older people as well as their younger counterparts. Drawing on Stuart Hall’s theoretical work on the representation of ‘the Other’, this paper is situated at the intersection of Critical Age Studies (Hazan, 1994; Katz, 1996) and Science and Technology Studies (Turkle, 2011). It builds on the combined analysis of 200 French mainstream media articles related to the subject of old age and ageing and a digital ethnography of five events which took place in 2021 and 2022. The selected events gathered stakeholders with a political, economic or technological perspective on the subject of old age and ageing with a national or European dimension. Based on the analysis of this data, the paper argues that the French discourse about older people and digital technologies contribute to both ageist representations of old age and fallacious expectations towards technologies.Type: conference speech

PublicationAI errors, their human rights impacts and the role of mainstream media in Europe
;Patra, RahiOver the last decades European societies have been transformed by algorithmic logics and AI-driven technologies used to profile individuals and make data-driven decisions about their lives. Here, data and algorithmic profiling is used to make the process of decision making more efficient, and to ‘avoid the human error’. Paradoxically, when it comes to human profiling, however, recent research has shown that these technologies are filled with systemic inequalities, biases and inaccurate analysis of human practices and intentions (Barassi, 2020). The combination of bias, inaccuracy and unaccountability implies that AI systems will always be somehow fallacious in reading humans (Barassi, 2021). The ‘human error of AI’ can have profound impacts not only on human rights but on the future of our democracies. However, as Aradau and Blanke have shown (2021), little attention has been placed on the study of error and its political life. This paper argues that it is of pivotal importance to understand how societies are making sense of and coexist with AI errors. One way in which we can do this is by investigating the role of mainstream media in framing the debate. This paper draws on a critical discourse analysis carried out between September 2020 and February 2022, which studied how different cases of AI errors were reported in mainstream media. We analyzed 520 articles with a focus on three of the most influential European countries when it comes to technological innovation (Germany, France, and the UK). In each of these countries, we monitored five key national newspapers (daily or weekly), balanced across the political spectrum. We also analyzed key articles from the United States, Switzerland, and other European countries, where they were relevant to defining the wider discourse on AI impacts in Europe. The articles were selected through keyword search. In this paper we will present four conclusions of our analysis: 1. Mainstream media discourses on AI errors were often defined by fatalism and resignation regarding the perceived inevitability of technological progress. 2. A majority of the AI errors reported were about mis-readings of the human body/mind. 3. The reporting of AI errors varied from country to country and across the political spectrum. 4. The response to AI errors was frequently framed as a policy issue and the voice of civil society and grassroots organizations was often excluded. By looking at how mainstream media frame the debate about AI errors, our aim is to shed light on a lack of critical responses to the problem, which can have profound implications for our democratic futures.Type: conference speech -

PublicationAll Academy Panel: A Vision of Responsible Research in Business and Management( 2017-08-06)
;George, Gerry ;Glick, Bill ;Markides, ConstantinosThe aim of this panel is to generate discussion among researchers and deans about new directions for research that will generate reliable (repeatable and cumulative) knowledge with relevance for addressing important business and societal problems. The session draws on an interdisciplinary white paper, “A Vision of Responsible Research in Business and Management” (2016) co-authored by 24 senior scholars across five business disciplines from 23 universities in five countries. The white paper begins with a vision of 2030 when business schools around the world have adopted a mission of “business and management research in service of society” and have transformed their research programs toward this mission. It proposes a set of principles for responsible research as well as a set of actions by each of the stakeholders connected with the research eco-system. We will use a debate/dialectic format to discuss the pros and cons of the vision, principles, and actions. The session participants will be invited to join the debate. At the end of the session, we hope that the participants will leave with confidence about the potential of responsible research that will align business school research with societal needs.Type: conference speech
