The GRONEN Reading Group is turning 10 years old and to celebrate our 30th meeting our next gathering will be hosted by the Centre for Sustainable Business at King's Business School, King's College London, in person, on Friday, June 14. If you have an R&R in a sustainability-related topic, come celebrate and discuss your paper with us! The GRONEN Reading Group discusses sustainability-related papers at the ‘revise & resubmit’ stage (preferably with a journal that is at least ranked 3 in the ABS list), and has helped 54% percent of papers discussed to date to progress to publication.   Spots are allocated on a first come, first served basis to those papers that meet the criteria above. To participate, we ask you to share your original submission (not the revised paper) and decision letter with the group (on a confidential basis). Each paper receives a 1-hour slot. On the day of the meeting, we ask you to present your approach to the review during 10-15 minutes. The next 45-50 minutes are then dedicated to a discussion on how to best deal with reviewer and editorial comments. GROReG sessions are characterized by a non-competitive, constructive working atmosphere with the aim to help each other with the development and publication of papers on sustainability-related topics in high quality journals.   GROReG sessions are facilitated by a group of the following core members:   ·      Elisa Alt, King’s College London ·      Grace Augustine, University of Bath ·      Luca Berchicci, Erasmus University Rotterdam ·      Aoife Brophy, University of Oxford ·      Simone Carmine, IESEG School of Management ·      Frederik Dahlmann, University of Warwick ·      Nicole Darnall, Arizona State University ·      Valentina De Marchi, ESADE ·      Frank Figge, ESCP Paris ·      Panikos Georgallis, University of Amsterdam ·      Tobias Hahn, ESADE ·      Katrin Heucher, University of Groningen ·      Joern Hoppmann, University of Oldenburg ·      Tanusree Jain, Copenhagen Business School ·      Gorgi Krlev, ESCP Paris ·      Franziska Lauenstein, Kühne Logistics University ·      Johannes Meuer, Kühne Logistics University ·      Lucrezia Nava, City University of New York ·      Kerstin Neumann, University of Innsbruck ·      Desiree Pacheco, IESE ·      Jonatan Pinkse, King’s College London ·      Garima Sharma, American University ·      Sara Soderstrom, University of Michigan ·      Amanda N Williams, IMD Business School   If you are interested, please contact me by email by May 17 (elisa.alt@kcl.ac.uk). Please send your paper as well as the decision letter including the reviewer reports. All submissions are treated confidentially and are shared only with the participants of the session/track, after checking for potential conflicts in the peer-review process. *Photo by Gaelle Marcel on Unsplash

Gorgi Krlev, to me, is the ideal engaged scholar. He brings together theory and practice in order to tackle the challenges we need to solve. Today, he gave us a thought-provoking impulse in our Start for Future Research & Academia group on potential indicators for social welfare and how we could rigorously but pragmatically measure impact. Thank you Gorgi for contributing to our discussion with your knowledge and expertise! Check out Gorgi's great work at https://lnkd.in/d_R3PVEK.

Thank you for opening your door to the improbable. Yesterday, we launched the Improbable Chair by Galeries Lafayette (https://lnkd.in/eWD7jVkg). It's a world first. No company has yet supported a project where art plays such a significant role within a business school. The goal is simple, yet very ambitious: to make creation accessible to the widest audience through a method, Art Thinking (https://lnkd.in/e9Un3AaY). This method, based on years of scientific research and pedagogical experiments, allows you to create the improbable with certainty (when your probable becomes unacceptable). Today, I would like to simply say thank you to all those who have opened their doors to the Improbable since 2011. Each person I wish to thank has changed my perspective on life. Each person I wish to thank has contributed to creating thousands of formative life experiences during the 200 Improbable seminars held in thirteen countries within dozens of schools, universities, and companies. Each time, it was a new encounter with art, culture, freedom of expression. Each time, it supported a transformative process for individuals and their organizations. Today, I would like to simply say thank you. Thank you to Philippe Houzé and Guillaume Houzé who trust in the Improbable by launching this Chair with the Galeries Lafayette. Thank you then to Jacqueline Fendt, MBA, PhD, HDR, who was the first to welcome Improbable in an academic curriculum. Thank you to Jean-Francois Royer who was the first partner (EY) to support us. Thank you to Johanna Bluemink and Mia Kemppaala, colleagues from the University of Oulu, who were the first to lead an Improbable beyond ESCP. Thank you to Christophe WAIGNIER who was the first executive to implement this training for managers (at SACEM). Thank you to Chuck Eesley for allowing me to teach Improbable with Stanford University in Japan. Thank you to Philippe Silberzahn for introducing me to Saras Sarasvathy (University of Virginia Darden School of Business). Thank you to Saras Sarasvathy for inviting me to present at the AOM/Chicago. Thank you to Chip Ransler for sharing so many insightful ideas. Thank you to Marion LAPORTE for allowing us to organize Improbable at the Centre Pompidou. Thank you to Sophie Kammerer Farant for allowing us to conduct Improbable at the Musée du Louvre. Thank you to Marion Papillon for organizing the first Improbable exhibition in an art gallery. Thank you Sybille de Gastines for all the "gifts" like Amy Whitaker's book. Thank you to Pr. Amy Whitaker (New York University) for agreeing to work with us. Thank you to Rebecca Lamarche Vadel and Geraldine Breuil for welcoming us to Lafayette Anticipations — Fondation d'entreprise Galeries Lafayette.
