Who Coordinates Organizational Growth?
Growth is one of the most important priorities for organizations. Yet growth-related activities are often spread across functions, creating coordination challenges across marketing, sales, product development, and customer success.
A recent article by Yashar Atefi, Sebastian Hohenberg, Saeed Janani, and Wei Zhou, published in the Journal of Marketing, examines how organizations address this challenge through the creation of Growth Departments and the appointment of Chief Growth Officers (CGOs).
Congratulations on a Successful Dissertation Defense!

What does it actually mean for organizations to be adaptable?
Adaptability is widely seen as a key capability for innovation. Yet, what it really captures often remains unclear.
Today, we highlight the paper “Adaptability in Innovation Management: A Meta-Analysis”, published in the Journal of Product Innovation Management, by Felix Hoch, Tobias Röth, Alexander Kock, Julia Backmann and Alex Newman, edited by Jelena Spanjol 🌟
From automation to symbiosis: How generative AI is reshaping knowledge work
As part of the Paper Development Workshop in Bern, which brought together selected PhD researchers working on human–AI collaboration in organizational contexts, ChanCe researcher Letizia Tschetsche presented her ongoing research on generative AI (GenAI) in knowledge work.
Focusing on reputation-sensitive, cross-functional settings such as corporate communication, where teams take on quality assurance roles for corporate communication, her work examines how generative AI is embedded in everyday workflows and how it reconfigures professional roles and interactions.
