The guest this episode is Thomas Lawrence, a Professor of Business at The University of Oxford.
We discuss one of Tom’s recently published papers in AMJ, which investigates how an organization imported a ”bad” practice in attempts to solve an important social problem, drug addiction. The results of the paper are intriguing and speak to the broader theme of how controversial practices can be transformed when applied across different contexts.
Tom also shares his observations about global and local trends in Social Innovation, and we speculate about the connection between his research and one of the greatest television shows in US history.
