Dear friends and colleagues

In this episode of our mini-series on #RelationalModels, we discuss our preferences concerning model selection. Indeed, our personal, cultural, and professional backgrounds impact the mode of #relations we prefer when interacting with other people. 

This episode prepares us for the next episode, where we will discuss why #conflicts appear and how to prevent them.

Dear listeners

In my today's episode, I talk about the last (fourth) model of relationships proposed by @Alan Fiske in his #ReltaionalModelsTheory. This is the model, that we learn last in our life, at the age of 14+ (please check the initial paper of Fiske (1991), it's been a while since I read it). Anyway, this is the model that is usually associated with the relationships in firms, i.e. business relationships. Yet, I observed this model in different settings, also in a family.

I hope you will find this episode interesting. In the next episodes, we may talk about the reasons for conflicts and how to avoid them using the Relational Models Theory.

Hello and welcome to the next episode in my #podcast mini-series on #relationalmodelstheory!

Today, we focus on the asymmetric model of #relationships - authority ranking. When I explain this model to my students, I ask them to think about #military services, where an officer has more power but also more responsibility than a soldier. Yet, this model can be found in different relationships such as #families and #firms.

Hello and welcome to my next episode dedicated to the Relational Models Theory!

Today, I continue my mini-series on Relational Models - a concept stemming from an anthropological theory. In his observations, Alan Fiske proposed four models of relationships: communal sharing, equality matching, authority ranking, and market pricing. In my today's episode, I talk about the equality matching model of relationships.

Hello and welcome to the next #podcast episode of my new mini-series on the Relational Models Theory (#relationalmodelstheory). 

Today, I talk about the first of four models (or modes) of #relationships as proposed by Professor @Alan Fiske - Communal Sharing. When I explain the #CommunalSharing model to my students, I ask them to imagine an "archetypical" or "ideal" vision of a family in our society. Initially, the idea came from #primitivetribes many thousand years ago - when each member of the tribe was responsible for the tribe's survival.

Welcome dear listeners

In one of my last episodes on heuristics, I referred to the Relational Models Theory and suggested listening to the episodes dedicated to the theory. And then I discovered that I planned to but did not record any episodes on this fascinating theory. Today, I've corrected the mistake by starting a new mini-series on the Relational Models Theory - a very powerful theory that social sciences inherited from anthropology.

Hello everybody

This is the final episode in our mini-series on heuristics. In this episode, I present our conceptual model that explains how information systems may help firms develop efficient heuristics. Yet, the number of heuristics may go at odds with the cognitive load.

Hello everybody

In this episode, I present you with one of our theories. We apply the Relational Models Theory in the firm domain. We argue that each relational model can be seen as a set of heuristics that might help firms increase the quality of communication within the team and reduce the number of conflicts. In our paper, we also deduce the quality of a firm's IT capability based on the congruency of relationships within a firm. If you want to know more, try our paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344744083_Understanding_microfoundations_of_IT_capability_using_anthropologic_heuristics

Hello and welcome

Today we talk about the universal heuristics at the level of an organisation. Together with my colleague Professor Jürgen Moormann, we wrote a paper where we argue that there is something like System 1 processes, intuitive processes that run at the level of an organisation. More details in this episode!

Welcome to the next episode in our mini-series on heuristics!

Today, we approach the rules that organisations develop individually to address the complexity of decision-making. I call these heuristics - individual heuristics at the organisational level. In the next episode, we will talk about universal organisational heuristics.

Enjoy, share, subscribe, and provide your examples of the heuristics in the comments section below.
