Because today, we’re not just reading the text—we’re reading the tailoring. ✂️🧵Before we begin—make sure to subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, and follow the YouTube channel “Weekend Researcher” for deep dives and discussion. 🎧▶️ And yes, we’re also available on Amazon Prime and Apple Podcast—hit that follow so you never miss a resubmission. 📲🍎🛒Huge thanks to the author Hugh Willmott and the publisher, the Academy of Management, for this provocative and timely contribution. 🙏🏽📖Here’s the question we’ll leave hanging like a threaded hem: If the hoax is the metaphor that fits best, who’s crafting the costume—and who dares to say the emperor has no clothes? 👀🧥❓ReferenceHugh Willmott, (2025): Management Theory: Jungle, Myth, or Hoax?.
