Recently, members of ChanCe participated in the 10th e-HRM International Conference in Münster. Under the theme “Beyond AI: HRM and the Work of the Future,” researchers from around the world came together to discuss how digital technologies are reshaping work, organizations, and human resource management.
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 🌟
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.
