    One of the most distinctive features of philosophy is its systematic and critical approach to the assumptions, beliefs, and values we typically accept-and take for granted-in various areas of life. In this webinar, I will discuss how philosophy provides resources that not only help us break free from the multitude of preconceived concepts, perspectives, and methodologies shaping our understanding of organizational phenomena, but also enable us to think differently about these phenomena, thereby leading to more original and impactful research.
