Adorno and Religion
Authors: Angermann Asaf 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the complex but meaningful role of religious ideas and theological arguments in Adorno’s thought. It examines how, alongside his critical analyses of the manifestations of religious consciousness in modern life, Adorno continuously employs religious concepts and theological sources in his writings. Reviewing the socio-political dimensions of the uses and abuses of religion Adorno diagnoses in political and cultural life, mass media, and entertainment, the chapter explicates how, according to Adorno, religious content is often reduced to superstition, occultism, and xenophobic ideology. The chapter then turns to the more constructive, socially redemptive elements of Adorno’s perspective on religion: the resemblance of his metaphysical arguments to negative theology and his unique concept of inverse theology. Finally, the chapter illuminates the significance of religion in Adorno’s aesthetics. It is in his theory of art, the author argues, that Adorno’s thought seems most theological, yet even here it remains, after all, primarily historical and materialistic.
The Cumulation Problem in Political Science
Authors: Gerring John 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
There is no purpose in launching new theories if they do not lead, over time, to a cumulation of knowledge on the subject. Brave conjectures must be followed by sober analyses, and these must cumulate over time. This chapter begins with a discussion of what counts as progress in political science, and in the social sciences more generally. Next, it discusses several widely regarded agendas for achieving cumulation—centered, respectively, on laws, mechanisms, theory, and inference. It argues that none of these traditional approaches is likely to go very far on their own. The final section explores another approach, dubbed standardization. Cumulation does not just happen, especially if scholars are working hard to distinguish their own work from everything and everyone that came before. Some degree of standardization is needed. And this, in turn, requires coordination among scholars working on a subject.
A Common Paradigm in a Universe of Applications
Authors: Abi-Hassan Sahar 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
As an approach based on relational data, network theory offers a unique perspective brought to bear on problems that range across the arts, sciences and humanities. For social scientists in particular, networks provide a new way to look at old, as well as new problems. Social network analysis (SNA) allows us to study human behavior from an individual perspective, and as the product of the environmental structure they are embedded in. Supported by an increasingly available range of data and extensive advances in computer science, network science provides the tools for descriptive analysis, as well as inferential statistical modeling. This chapter begins with a review of several important contributions of network theory as a common paradigm, and how this has been applied to various social scientific fields—i.e., political and social networks. Thereafter, the chapter discusses the application of SNA to the area of interest group theory. Specifically, it illustrates how the organizational identity of interest groups can be shaped by their network.
The Future of Computational Social Science
Authors: Lazer David , Ognyanova Katya 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter outlines the current state and future trajectory of computational social science (CSS), a growing field combining tools and techniques from computer science with theories and methods from the social sciences. This fusion of approaches offers enormous possibilities to expand understanding of human society at scale. We discuss the diverse types of data used in this area of research, including text, image, audio, video, network, location, and sensor data, as well as archival, self-reported, and qualitative data. The chapter offers an overview of key opportunities and obstacles faced by researchers in this field, highlighting structural, ethical, social, and technological factors. Of particular interest at this time is an evolving crisis in data access, as platforms have greatly constricted data availability in recent years. We emphasize the importance of computational methods for theory development and discuss their capacity to expand existing knowledge, adapting classic models for a new information environment.
“O Baffled, Balked”
Authors: Wilkenfeld Jacob 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This essay reads the 1860 “Leaves of Grass” cluster as a testing ground for ideas regarding a poetics of absorption in Walt Whitman’s writing. For example, in “There Was a Child Went Forth,” the speaker asserts that the world’s variegated phenomena “became part of that child who went forth every day.” Yet the 1860 “Leaves of Grass” grouping also includes poems in which the possibility of absorption as a compositional strategy is interrogated and deemed unfeasible. In particular, the essay focuses on the poems “I Sit and Look Out” and “As I Ebb’d with the Ocean of Life” as illustrations of a countertendency in Whitman’s work to the absorptive aesthetic that famously characterizes the speaker of “Song of Myself.” The author argues that, as a cluster whose title is eponymous with Whitman’s larger verse project, “Leaves of Grass” presents a radically skeptical reconsideration of Leaves of Grass.
The “Dark Bequest”
Authors: Tuggle Lindsay 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Recalling Walt Whitman’s reverence for the “human fragments” of Civil War medical specimens, this essay by Lindsay Tuggle reflects on how her poetry interrogates the debt modern medicine owes to dispossessed bodies. These “specimens of unworldliness” and their shapeshifting afterlives constitute Whitman’s “dark bequest.” At the close of “Song of Myself,” Whitman invites the reader to glimpse an ecoerotic afterlife where decay is a precursor to transcendence. Human particles decompose and re-emerge as “divine materials.” In Whitman’s idyllic cemetery, human kinship does not end when the beloved takes her final breath. The living are bound to the dead by constellations of attachments that extend beyond the body. Whitman and his phantasmal specimens invite the reader to shift elegy beyond the singular human body, to unite in mourning those who remain “unnamed” by history.
Whitman’s Atmospheres
Authors: Waples Emily 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This essay integrates ecocritical and medico-historical perspectives to investigate Walt Whitman’s atmospheres, both literal and literary. The “open air” pervades Whitman’s poetry, creating an apt climate for his rustic persona and out-of-doors sensibility. Yet for Whitman, the open air was more than a mere pleasure or metaphor: it was the key to health. Whitman frequently championed the salutary properties of freely circulating, uncontaminated air, joining prominent medical writers who stressed the necessity of proper indoor ventilation, and public health reformers who called for the sanitization of urban environments. Analyzing Whitman’s poetic deployments of atmospheric and respiratory tropes alongside his editorial writings on health, the essay examines his understanding of atmosphere not as a neutral “force of nature” but as a means to negotiate and disrupt dichotomous tensions between the body and the body politic, between self-help and public health.
Walt Whitman’s Archives
Authors: Stewart Ashlyn , Cohen Matt 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter considers how Walt Whitman thought about literary archives. Whitman left behind a strikingly large volume of material, with no orders to executors to destroy manuscripts. The roots of that hoard lie in the writer’s thinking about the material conditions of authorial posterity. The cosmic materialism articulated in Whitman’s poetry declared a kind of eternal existence, influenced by the notion that a writer could anticipate the assaults of time. The poet shaped the preservation of his own literary archive, through his relationship with Horace Traubel. Traubel’s With Walt Whitman in Camden reveals Whitman enacting document transfers, framing his material remains to guide how Traubel would tell his tale. “Walt Whitman’s Archives” traces Whitman’s concern with literary archives in light of recent media archaeological theory, and concludes with thoughts about how knowing the writer’s ideas about literary preservation might influence the work of those curating his archive’s legacy today.
Taking a Page Out of Whitman’s Scrapbook
Authors: McMullen Kevin 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This essay details the process of digitally reassembling a scrapbook compiled by Walt Whitman in the mid- to late 1850s. Over 1,000 pages long, and comprising sections from textbooks, magazines, newspaper clippings, and handwritten manuscripts, this artifact was organized around a central theme: the world’s cultural geography. Whitman’s reasons for creating the scrapbook are unclear and obscured even further by the fact that the document is significantly different from its original form as he compiled it; in the 1930s, more than one hundred manuscript pages were excised by a collector and sold at auction as separate items. The essay discusses how the scrapbook contributed to Whitman’s published work, shedding light on the complex interplay of the poet’s reading, note-taking, and writing processes. It concludes by exploring how Whitman’s practice of scrapbooking, as well as his self-education in world history and geography, mirrors and encapsulates his poetic oeuvre and its intentions.
Whitman’s Secret Publications
Authors: Turpin Zachary 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Since Walt Whitman’s death, his secret publications have come to light with surprising regularity; this chapter details the discovery of ten such publications, each of which Whitman covertly saw into print and seemingly reminded no one of afterward. Commonalities among these rediscovered works include their publication primarily in newsprint; their appearance anonymously or under pen names; their engagement with “un-Whitmanian” genres; and their discovery by way of manuscript and bibliographic evidence. Since new digital methodologies have begun enhancing researchers’ efficacy and extending their reach into vast new digital archives, this chapter concludes by enumerating the strengths and weaknesses of some of the newest methods aiding the recovery of secret Whitman publications. These include byline searches, computational stylometry, and idiolectic analysis. Such methods promise to help turn up any number of still-missing Whitman texts, including not one but two novels, The Sleeptalker (c.1850–51) and Proud Antoinette (c.1858–60).
Defining the Role of Metaphor in Organization Studies
Authors: Cornelissen Joep 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter defines the concept of metaphor in the field of organization studies. The author distinguishes between linguistic, cognitive, and cultural dimensions, and elaborates how alone or together these different dimensions have given rise to different streams of research in the organization field. Besides providing an overview of past work, the author calls for more reflexivity among academics, policy-makers, and other stakeholders of organizations. The role of metaphor in contemporary management and policy making often goes unnoticed, and more debate and discussion of the metaphorical roots of many ideas is badly needed—ideally before a new metaphor has become institutionalized.
Metaphors in Action
Authors: Sackmann Sonja 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Metaphors are an integral part of organizational life. They are helpful in providing a clear image for nebulous, often future situations, but they also have a seductive quality for the metaphor’s recipients. As recipients, organizational members are exposed to a metaphor without having a choice over either the metaphor or the mental image that it automatically triggers in them, including its potential implications regarding suggested actions. This chapter describes the seduction process in more detail, using two examples from organizational life. Furthermore, it explores conditions that contribute to metaphors’ higher and lower levels of seductive nature. This depends on the metaphor itself, the characteristics of the metaphor’s target, the characteristics of the metaphor’s originator, and those of the recipients and their group. The chapter also explores ways in which to counterbalance the seductive quality of metaphors.
Defining, Refining, and Redefining Metaphor
Authors: Oswick Cliff , Grant David 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter draws upon a recorded conversation in which the authors discussed the role and status of metaphor in organization theory with Professor Gareth Morgan. There are three mains sections to the chapter. The first reviews and reflects upon the original formulation of metaphor, offered in Images of Organization (Morgan, 1986), as a device involving the carrying over of properties from a concrete source domain (i.e., a metaphor) to a relatively abstract target domain (i.e., an organization). The second section explores an alternative perspective which draws attention to the provisional, emergent, and transitory properties of metaphor (i.e., concerning what the authors refer to as “residual patterns of understanding” and the “grab of solutions”). The chapter concludes with a discussion of the scope for complementing the dominant resonance-based approach to metaphor use (i.e., the privileging of similarity) by advocating the deployment of dissonance-based metaphorical projections (which foreground dissimilarity).
dead and alive, sleeping and waking metaphors
Authors: Müller Cornelia 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter reconsiders the spectrum of metaphor as it has been conceived by historical metaphor theories in rhetoric, literature, phraseology, lexicology, and historical linguistics, and more recently by applied linguistic and cognitive theories of metaphor. It offers a reflection on metaphors as dead and alive, sleeping and waking, and invites the reader to consider the creativity of metaphor in the mundane forms of language usage. The chapter sets out by disentangling the spectrum of metaphor, then a shift from metaphor to metaphoricity is suggested (including tools for documenting degrees of metaphoricity), and finally, the temporal dynamics of metaphor in a situated multimodal face-to-face context is illustrated with an interview with former US president Barack Obama. The chapter concludes on some of the theoretical and methodological consequences for studying metaphor in verbal and multimodal discourses.
Metaphors for Diversity and Discrimination in and by Organizations
Authors: Bendl Regine , Schmidt Angelika 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Since the introduction of the most prominent metaphor on gender diversity, namely the glass ceiling, by Marilyn Loden at a Women’s Exposition in New York in 1978, many metaphors have been suggested to reflect not only women’s progress and experience in management but also diversity in organizations. Forty-five years later, the barriers to inclusion and advancement are not just ceilings above women, persons of color, the disabled or LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersexual, and asexual) persons; the barriers are all around them. This chapter maps the character of existing metaphors, discusses the insights they present into discrimination and inclusion, as well as considering their limitations. The authors explore sets of metaphors with regard to their generic insights into diversity and discrimination, and offer initial suggestions for possible new metaphors for diversity and discrimination.
Self-Monitoring Personality Trait in Organizations
Authors: Dural Uzay , Kudret Selin 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Self-monitoring is a personality trait that reflects the extent to which an individual is receptive to interpersonal and social cues, observes own behaviors in relation to others in social situations, and regulates self-presentation accordingly. This chapter aims to contribute to organizational studies by offering novel and measurable propositions to guide new research that will contribute to our understanding of self-monitoring effects in two key areas—remote work and leadership diversity—which gained traction with the Covid-19 pandemic. The chapter also offers readers a whistle stop review of what we know and what we need to know on self-monitoring effects beyond these two key areas. The chapter proposes that self-monitoring can be studied both as a personality trait and an acquirable skill set, which explain differential work experiences and outcomes in organizational contexts.
Individual Differences in Social Comparison in Organizations
Authors: Buunk Abraham P. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Social comparison refers to relating one’s own characteristics to those of other similar individuals, and may be especially manifest in work situations, as individuals are usually surrounded by other employees. This chapter reviews the literature on individual differences in social comparison in organizations. First, it discusses individual differences in the tendency to compare upward (with others better off) and downward (with others worse-off), and how such comparisons may evoke positive and negative feelings. Second, it describes how such effects depend on whether individuals identify or contrast themselves with others, and how this is influenced by leadership style and the social climate in an organization. Next the chapter deals at length with individual differences in social comparison orientation (SCO).
Digital Data and Personality
Authors: Hinds Joanne 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In recent years, advances in big data analytics have created vast opportunities to analyze and understand aspects of people’s personalities and how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are embedded in their digital interactions. As such, organizations are becoming increasingly sophisticated in the types of data they collect and use to infer information about individuals’ personalities and to personalize their activities (e.g., microtargeted advertisements, selection and recruitment). This chapter provides an overview of how digital data can be used to predict personality and the contexts in which organizations currently use them. It then discusses the key opportunities for using digital personality assessments in organizations, as well as the associated challenges relating to ethics and privacy when tracking individuals’ digital interactions. It concludes by providing some recommendations for addressing these issues in this rapidly advancing field.
What Do Celebrity CEOs Look Like?
Authors: Ekanayake Udari , Heyden Mariano 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The media often overattributes positive organizational outcomes to the CEO, sometimes attributing them a “rock-star-like” status. However, not all well-performing CEOs are awarded celebrity status. Why, then, are some CEOs are awarded celebrity status while others do not? In this study, we draw on CEO celebrity and evolutionary psychology literature to hone in on the underexamined role of CEOs observable physical attributes. In doing so, we examine the influence of several observable physical attributes, notably facial dominance, gender, and race on CEO celebrity status. We conducted an empirical investigation from a sample of 209 S&P 100 and FTSE 100 firms from 2017 to 2019 using Poisson regression analysis. The results suggest that CEOs with less dominant facial features, female CEOs, and CEOs of minority racial backgrounds may be favored by media in attributing celebrity status.
Neurodiversity at Work
Authors: Lerner Daniel A. , Conrad Carlina , Karabayeva Asya 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Neurodiversity refers to natural variations in human brain and cognitive functioning. It offers an essential lens through which individual differences at the workplace can be understood. The number of neurodiverse employees is on the rise, as organizations shift toward greater openness to diversity in general. Focusing on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) as an illustrative example of neurodiversity, this chapter reviews it within the organizational context/literature and offers suggestions for future research from a theoretical and methodological perspective. Additionally, this chapter suggests the practical significance of building knowledge on neurodiversity in the workplace, and the importance of framing neurodiversity as a strength rather than a liability.
A Reconsideration of Open Innovation After 20 Years
Authors: Chesbrough Henry 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Open Innovation (OI) has evolved since its introduction 20 years ago. The meaning of the concept, the evidence supporting its relevance and validity, and the scope of its application have all grown during that time. This chapter examines the development of Open Innovation, its roots, its scope, its empirical validation, and shows its utility in understanding innovation processes. However, there are important differences that have resulted in the past 20 years. Limitations to the concept’s effectiveness in theory and failure cases in practice are emerging, and are discussed in this chapter. Institutional structures supporting Open Innovation have also appeared, helping to carry new research forward.
The Good, The Bad, The Open
Authors: Stefan Ioana 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Open innovation (OI) has enabled and accelerated innovation in times of crisis and in addressing sustainable goals, yet such endeavors have also sparked ethical concerns, related to issues such as data privacy and transparency or individual free choice. This chapter sets out to investigate ethical issues in OI by systematically reviewing the relevant literature in the field. The 59 selected articles are divided across three major themes, highlighting both positive (“the Good”) and negative (“the Bad”) aspects of OI in relation to ethical considerations. The chapter concludes with a synthesis of the literature review as well as future research recommendations.
Driving Open Innovation Through Open Platforms
Authors: Parker Geoffrey , Petropoulos Georgios , Van Alstyne Marshall W. , West Joel 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Open platforms provide an important avenue for firms to engage with external developers using open innovation strategies to create and commercialize their new innovations. Firms have successfully enabled external innovation by “inverting the firm” through permissionless innovation, often through APIs. By providing predictable rules, third parties can and will create their own innovations that increase the value of the overall platform. However, a key dilemma is how much openness will bring the best results for the platform and its owner. Openness can also create competition, dissipate value, and risk platform forking. This chapter summarizes two decades of research documenting the decisions made in opening platforms, discussing how it aligns with broader themes in open innovation and how firms can avoid being too open or too closed in their platform design.
Dimensions of Openness
Authors: Perkmann Markus 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Universities are destined to engage in open innovation because they generally do not commercialize products themselves. Yet, they have strategic discretion over how to perform innovation and shape outcomes. This chapter considers two dimensions of strategic choice for universities: (1) the degree of control universities exert over how innovations are developed; and (2) how widely they intend their inventions or expertise to spread. Choices with respect to these two dimensions inform how licensing deals and research partnerships are structured. The chapter discusses the tradeoffs and strategic implications of each choice with respect to licensing to spinoffs and established entities, exclusive vs. non-exclusive licensing, and closed vs. open research partnerships.
