When you conduct research, there should be a research gap. Here are seven research gaps.

Much of research is asking ‘why’ – asking the questions that will inform ‘what’ will happen next. For the final Impact report, we’re asking instead: ‘What if?’. What if research could upend our current notions? What could thinking differently bring us? In this article, we ask members of the industry to respond to a series of ‘what if’ questions. By asking ‘what if’, we can turn our attention to all sorts of potential futures. By reimagining the future, researchers can reinvent the path of the industry: https://lnkd.in/eXg3WSFn #mrx James Endersby, LaShanda Seaman, Kenny Imafidon MBE, Rebecca Cole, Ben Page, phyllis macfarlane, Lian Mico (née Nuttall), Adam Phillips, Jake Steadman, Emily Dickinson, Sinead Jefferies (FMRS), Amy Cashman, Phil Sutcliffe, Tom Richer

Well done, Jamel! Your preprint reached 20 reads Achieved on July 16, 2024 Preprint: Impact of Supply Chain Disruptions on Financial Leverage This study investigates the impact of supply disruptions on financial leverage (debt-equity ratio) in the U.S. economy from 1998:Q1 to 2024:Q1. The study employs a linear and non-linear Local Projections (LP) and Bayesian Vector Autoregression (BVAR) models to explore dynamic relationships. While the LP models reveal that a supply chain shock negatively affects leverage with statistically significant results, there is no evidence of state dependence. The BVAR model suggest that a supply chain shock is disruptive via reduction (an increase) in output (inflation), accompanied by lower leverage. Many thanks for your interest, comments and remarks are welcome 🤠

To enhance the world to next generation, I have proposed a research as:

I have been asked about models & approaches that influence my change practice. I will post some of them over the next few days. The first shows the distinction between "change-in-kind" (disruptive, discontinuous change) as well as "change-in degree" (incremental, continuous change). Whilst we aspire to the former, many of the change tools & approaches we use are designed for the latter. We need both types of change. https://lnkd.in/e_BHv_U5. By Emergent Futures Lab.

Weak Signals — Early Warnings of what is coming. Are you aware of the potential threats and opportunities that Weak Signals can pose to your organization? These events or developments, although incomplete, ambiguous and often in early stages of development can have a substantial impact on your industry or field of activity. Check out this article at IF Insight & Foresight to learn more about Weak Signals and how they can be early warnings of what's to come. The article covers research foundations, defining Weak Signals, Weak Signals models, and the difference between Weak and Strong Signals. Don't wait until it's too late to prepare for the future.

The 10 Best Qualitative Research Tools

In an ever-growing generation, our challenges seem to be endless.Hence, the need for advance research that will envisage the challenges ahead and provide active solutions to these challenges. #researchanddevelopment

Appreciating the old, excited about the new! I completed 3 years with Survitec Group Ltd. as of Dec 31st and am very appreciative of my time with this great company that #existstoprotectlives and the great people that make it up. I am equally excited about new beginnings, well not exactly new. I am returning to my IT and Business Consulting company DigiDebb and in parallel furthering my knowledge at MIT Professional Education on the topic of, what else?, Gen AI! Check out my latest DigiDebb Research Blog!

Today we would briefly discuss #mixed #research. There are benefits and limits to this type of research. Share your thoughts via the comments section
