In fact, many work in fields where their bodies are intentionally governed by organizational systems intent on shaping them into an idealized image of a worker, argues Assistant Professor of Strategy and Organization <a href="/desautels/rohini-jalan"><strong>Rohini Jalan</strong></a>. While all bodies are encouraged to undergo body work to conform, this affects different body types disproportionately.</p> Wed, 20 Dec 2023 20:22:40 +0000 webfull 195964 at /channels /channels/channels/news/gender-homophily-group-citation-preferences-and-gender-disadvantage-353318 <p><img alt="Sen Chai" src="/desautels/files/desautels/styles/medium_focal__220_x_220_/public/sen_chai_2023.jpg?itok=eGjSTFWa" style="width:220px; height:220px; margin:8px; float:left" title="Sen Chai" /></p> <p><strong>Authors:</strong> Sifan Zhou, <b><a href="/desautels/sen-chai">Sen Chai</a> </b>and<b> </b>Richard B.

Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses. Many small businesses are autocracies and revolve around the vision of their founder. This gives them a limited management hierarchy and can help enable dynamism. But there are drawbacks too: a founder obsessed with their own vision may lose sight of some of the practical details needed to make their business profitable.</p> Wed, 22 Feb 2023 17:01:05 +0000 webfull 187488 at /channels /channels/channels/news/corporate-gender-dynamics-are-important-factor-womens-job-seekers-decision-making-345888 <p>Male-dominated startups have more difficulty hiring female talent, and their company’s gender dynamics play a role.

Just a few days later, Amazon announced it would lay off more than 18,000. These measures could help the tech giants reduce costs and weather the downturn, but they also carry risk.

During the 2022 winter holiday travel period, the Dallas-headquartered airline cancelled 6,500 flights in just three days. Winter weather played a role, but the low-cost carrier was disrupted far more than other airlines. Reports from within Southwest suggest that an outdated employee scheduling system contributed, says Prof. <a href="//www.mcgill.ca/desautels/karl-moore">Karl Moore</a>. “It may well be that Southwest relies on a system that very much needs to be brought up to date.</p> Thu, 12 Jan 2023 14:36:58 +0000 webfull 185958 at /channels
