Hiring in high-growth firms: new study explores the timing of organizational changes
Waseda UniversityPeer-Reviewed Publication
Entrepreneurship studies often focus on firm growth-related topics. The factors affecting the high-growth (HG) in high-growth firms (HGFs) are not well established. While some studies suggest that proactive strategizing precedes the HG period, others consider that the near-random structure of the firm’s growth is better to delay growth-related investments. This study focuses on the “timing” of setting up new hierarchical layers and the consequences if it happens before or after the growth event.

How to solve the remote work stalemate – dissertation offers tools for successful hybrid work
University of VaasaReports and Proceedings
The remote work debate often focuses only on leadership or the employee, but according to a new doctoral dissertation from the University of Vaasa, Finland, the prerequisites for success are found in a broader context. Johanna Jansson's research in the field of human resource management reveals that successful remote work is built on three foundations: overall organisational design, the supervisor-subordinate relationship, and the employee's own role. When these three foundations are in balance, both company performance and employee well-being can be promoted simultaneously.
