A leader’s approach to hierarchy can have profound strategic implications for their organisation. In this special feature, with the help of experts from McGill University, we’ll explore the strategic opportunities that come from engaging employees up and down the ladder – and what it means to have a hierarchy in the first place, and what it would mean to abandon them entirely.

We start with Professor Henry Mintzberg, exploring how insights from across an organization can transform its strategy. Then, with help from Professor Quy Huy, we explore how emotional awareness is key to unlocking this strategic potential. And finally, we pull from anarchist perspectives to understand how hierarchies – or the abandonment of them – reflects organisations’ values and identity.

Eric Dicaire, Managing Editor at McGill Delve, wrote this story and narrated this episode.

Price and quality were once considered the dominant forces behind consumer decisions. But, according to recent findings by Siddhanth Mookerjee, Assistant Professor of Marketing at McGill University, this isn’t the full story. Personal values and ideology play an increasingly important role in how consumers make purchasing decisions – particularly when it comes to supporting minority-owned businesses.

In this episode of the McGill Delve podcast, Professor Mookerjee shares findings from his latest study, “Reparative Consumption: The Role of Racial Identity and White Guilt in Consumer Preferences.” He walks us through how white guilt influences consumer choices – even more than other factors like political affiliation, gender, or race. He also discusses the value of consumerism as a reparative act for businesses that experienced discrimination, and how companies should navigate questions of race when engaging with consumers. Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode.

Humanitarian logistics are like planning the Olympic Games, but you don’t know where or when it will happen, or how many people will be affected, says Professor Harwin de Vries of the Rotterdam School of Management. This poses a massive operational challenge: how do you create an effective humanitarian response in such unpredictable conditions?

In this episode of the McGill Delve podcast, Professor de Vries explores this question and more. Anicet Fangwa, Assistant Professor of Strategy and Organization and an expert in humanitarian management, hosts this episode.

This episode of the McGill Delve podcast was produced in collaboration with the Analytics, Advanced Digital Technologies and AI Initiative (AAAI) at McGill University.
