JMI Six Degrees Podcast series
As the Journal of Management Inquiry (JMI) approached its 20th year, Marvin Washington and Nelson Phillips called on the editorial board to propose a new section for the journal. The ideas and ensuing discussions resulted in “Six Degrees,” a word play on the idea that all humans are connected by less than six degrees of separation. This series of podcasts celebrates the collaborations that have resulted in seminal contributions, explores the relationships that have enriched scholars’ personal and professional lives, and pays homage to the classics of the field. Contributors are asked to talk about—in heartfelt and humorous ways—the social and intellectual connections that they have developed and sustained, and that have supported them as students, advisors, teachers, colleagues, and mentors.
