About this document
Eleventh issue of Impact & Knowledge, published in June 2026, which takes readers to the heart of a collective reflection on the approaches, methods and aims of research in management studies. The latest edition of the audiovisual journal dedicated to sharing research insights, enriched by contributions from many professors of the faculty and associate researchers of the institute, offers a wide-ranging and critical mapping of contemporary management: from clinically grounded approaches to geoculturally decentred perspectives, and from epistemological vigilance to reflection on the researcher's political responsibility, these essays invite readers to rethink the very foundations of academic engagement. Extending this reflection on the frameworks that shape action, the opinion pieces examine two major transformations: the first considers artificial intelligence and the reshaping of social dialogue across representation, negotiation and the redistribution of roles, while the second takes readers into the world of Chinese management, revealing a paradigmatic shift long obscured by Western orthodoxies. An Impact(s) article closes the issue. Like the other issues of this bimonthly letter, the edition gives the floor to faculty members and alumni in order to make their work accessible to practitioners. The publication pursues its aim of circulating research results directly useful to managers beyond the academic circle alone. Each contribution is signed by a professor, an associate researcher or a doctor of the institute, and extends research work carried out within the programme.
