🚨🚨🚨 New paper alert! 🚨🚨🚨

"Grounding and Developing the Design Perspective on Entrepreneurship: from Individual-Opportunity Nexus to Artifact-Centered Triad", coauthored by me and Dimo Dimov, was just accepted for publication in Journal of Management Inquiry.

To enhance managerial relevance, entrepreneurship theory should be anchored in frameworks that are both practically useful and conceptually coherent. This essay develops a triadic design perspective on entrepreneurship that incorporates artifacts alongside individuals and environmental circumstances. Building on concepts of epistemic objects (Knorr Cetina), reflective design practice (Schön), and world-disclosing (Spinosa et al.), opportunities are conceptualized as actively framed situations, within which ventures are designed, through the use of more or less concrete entrepreneurial artifacts. This resulting account of entrepreneurship as an artifact-centered and potentially transformative process of design will hopefully offer a robust foundation for advancing entrepreneurship research and practice.

This is the best thing I’ve seen since I don’t know when.

For example, an RLM asked to generate a hateful tirade may conclude in its reasoning trace that it should refuse; but if the prompt instructs it to assess each hateful sentence within its thinking process, it will often leak the full harmful content! (see example below) 9/13
Example of a "thought injection attack" on Deepseek R1, asking for a violent tirade against philosophers (note that the attack method also works on much more serious examples of harmful speech). This shows the reasoning trace before the actual answer.

Archeologists speak of years Before Present (BP), with ‘present’ set to January 1, 1950—just before nuclear bomb testing significantly changed the atmospheric ratio of carbon isotopes.

Given how AI is rapidly flooding the digital world with bullshit, we may need a similar epoch marker—Jan 1 2025?

Some really interesting ideas about kinds of research and modes of governance/funding.

So delighted to welcome Prof. Heather Douglas to The HPS Podcast!

In this illuminating conversation, we explore the history & legacy of the “value-free ideal.” Heather offers insights on the evolving responsibilities of scientists, and presents her bold vision for a new social contract for science.

Looking forward to this (joint TIM, ENT, SAP, OMT) PDW with Jennifer Whyte, Raghu Garud, and Dimo Dimov at the Academy of Management meeting in Copenhagen.

📢 The Role of Artifacts in Managerial Design 📢

This PDW examines the central role of artifacts in processes of development and change across fields and practices including entrepreneurship, innovation, project management, strategy, and future-making. In these and other areas, managerial work often amounts to artifact-centered processes in which final outcomes emerge via various “intermediate artifacts” such as conceptual models, material prototypes, digital simulations, and operational plans. Such artifacts serve diverse functions: as focusing devices that produce shared visions and guide concrete actions, as boundary objects that enable feedback and collaboration across domains, and as unfolding artifacts that are left intentionally incomplete to invite creative engagement. While scholars in different fields are theorizing and investigating artifact-centered practices, there is little discussion across fields. This PDW aims to encourage such dialogue.

“Like every writer, he measured the virtues of other writers by their performance, and asked that they measure him by what he conjectured or planned.”

”I argue that today’s AI excels at recognizing structure, but not at reframing it. It doesn't invent abstractions, ask better questions, or propose new ways of seeing. And that distinction—between fitting the world and reimagining it—is what separates tools of discovery from discovery itself.”

This essay by Nisheeth Vishnoi is a thoughtful meditation on the nature of science and a rebuttal to the notion that AI systems are going replace human scientists anytime soon. Worth reading.

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years.

NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

Almost surely none of this is real. This is multinationals using inflated transfer prices to make profits appear in low-tax Ireland. Trump's EU trade war is stupid on many levels, but the fact that it's based in part on an accounting fiction is the cherry on top

“The above-linked news article said that the author of this apparently-fraudulent paper is no longer at MIT. But this shouldn’t be a problem. When authors of fraudulent papers leave MIT, they usually can go to Duke, no? There must be a position in the business school for this guy.”

I've just come back from the Cambridge Disinformation Summit where I gave the opening keynote, titled "Demanufacturing Consent - How Disordered Discourse is Destroying Democracy", featuring everything from Fake Hooves to Jackson Hinkle being the worst.
