In this special feature, with the help of experts from McGill University, we’ll explore the strategic opportunities that come from engaging employees up and down the ladder – and what it means to have a hierarchy in the first place, and what it would mean to abandon them entirely.We start with Professor Henry Mintzberg, exploring how insights from across an organization can transform its strategy. Then, with help from Professor Quy Huy, we explore how emotional awareness is key to unlocking this strategic potential. And finally, we pull from anarchist perspectives to understand how hierarchies – or the abandonment of them – reflects organisations’ values and identity. Eric Dicaire, Managing Editor at McGill Delve, wrote this story and narrated this episode.ADDITIONAL LISTENINGStrategy as care, with Henry Mintzberg - https://bit.ly/43N9oOqManaging with anarchism, with Jayne Malenfant and Hannah Brais - https://bit.ly/4p28yG7Can strategy be emotional?

But, according to recent findings by Siddhanth Mookerjee, Assistant Professor of Marketing at McGill University, this isn’t the full story. Personal values and ideology play an increasingly important role in how consumers make purchasing decisions – particularly when it comes to supporting minority-owned businesses.In this episode of the McGill Delve podcast, Professor Mookerjee shares findings from his latest study, “Reparative Consumption: The Role of Racial Identity and White Guilt in Consumer Preferences.” He walks us through how white guilt influences consumer choices – even more than other factors like political affiliation, gender, or race. He also discusses the value of consumerism as a reparative act for businesses that experienced discrimination, and how companies should navigate questions of race when engaging with consumers.
