The rise of generative AI (GenAI) is challenging the idea that AI is only useful for automation and efficiency and suggests it’s time to rethink human-AI collaboration. A new research article by HOI researcher Sebastian Krakowski recently published in Information & Organization, argues that GenAI can enhance creativity, democratize AI access, and fundamentally change the way organizations function.

For the past two decades, Design Thinking has been a driving force in business innovation, helping companies improve products and services. Yet, Design Thinking has serious limitations, according to new research by HOI researcher Roberto Verganti, with co-author Elizabeth Bowie Cristoforetti of Harvard, published in The Design Journal. Its extreme and close focus on user needs (or user-ism, sometimes becoming a face-lifted version of consumerism), can lead businesses to overlook broader systemic challenges, from sustainability to social responsibility. The authors argue that design must evolve—moving beyond being purely reactive to market needs and instead becoming an active shaper of a positive future.

In a globalized world, competition between medicine approval agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Europe’s European Medicines Agency (EMA) significantly impacts the development and availability of innovative drugs. A new study by HOI researcher Stefan Haefliger published in Drug Discovery Today suggests that Europe must modernize its regulatory processes to become the destination of choice for groundbreaking medical innovation.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way research is conducted, from generating new ideas to drafting papers. A new study published in the Journal of Management Inquiry explores the benefits and challenges of using AI in academic research. This curated discussion highlights that while AI has the potential to enhance or harm the research process, it also triggers us to redefine and reconsider what authorship is and how research is performed.

According to a new study published in the Journal of Business Research, letting go of initial ideas is essential for creating innovative product visions. Researchers studied 26 top management teams to explore how teams develop novel ideas and found that the ability to abandon earlier concepts is just as important as adding new ones.

A new study explores how platform thinking and collaborative inquiry can address common challenges in innovation management, creating a dynamic, co-creative research environment. Published in the European Journal of Innovation Management, this study showcases a novel approach that integrates academic and practical applications to foster impactful change in organizations.

A new study published in Information and Organization reveals that Swedish healthcare professionals frequently refrained from using data on patient wait times, which was meant to improve service efficiency. This research highlights the strategic ignorance and lack of engagement with digital technology introduced with the aim of improving organizational learning, explaining why such technology initiatives often fail to accomplish their official aims.
