Bass’s legendary piece, “A New Product Growth for Model Consumer Durables.”This is where the Bass Model was born — that elegant curve mapping the dance between innovation and imitation, predicting how a product climbs, peaks, and fades in the hands of eager consumers.🛋️ Color TVs, microwaves, smartphones — Bass's insight still hums quietly behind every launch curve. But here’s the real kick: what if innovation itself could be forecasted just like weather? What happens when human curiosity becomes a mathematical rhythm?💭 So, is the future of every great idea already hiding in the curve of yesterday’s data?🙏 Big thanks to Frank M. Bass for his timeless contribution.🎧 Don’t forget to hit subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, find us on our YouTube channel Weekend Researcher, and tune in across Amazon Prime and Apple Podcast. 📚💡

Welcome to "Revise and Resubmit," your one-stop shop for stories that sweep you off your feet. Today’s episode, "Weekend Book Review," is diving into the electrifying shadows of espionage and underground literature... so get ready for some true spy-versus-censor action. 📚🕵️‍♀️If you think spies only traded secrets, think again. In "The CIA Book Club: The Best-Kept Secret of the Cold War," Charlie English brings us a real-life tale where books became battle plans and printing presses ticked like quiet bombs of rebellion. This wasn’t just fiction—this was the front line. Imagine banned books like "1984" and "Animal Farm" spirited past watchtowers, floated across borders, concealed in luggage, and multiplied in secret print shops. Each book lighting a spark, a hidden rebellion, a clandestine reader’s hope.Let’s talk about the mastermind—Charlie English is London’s own wizard of narrative nonfiction. He’s led global news desks, illuminated lost libraries from Timbuktu to Europe, and written for everyone from The Guardian to the New York Times. Off the page, he’s even herding sheep in the English countryside with his border collie, Enzo, and still finds time to rescue literary history. You’d think wrestling sheep would be easier than wrangling Cold War secrets!As we tumble into this story of rebels and readers, you’ll meet Polish heroes like Miroslaw Chojecki, smuggling stories under martial law, and see how men and women with the courage to pass forbidden words helped tear down the iron walls of censorship. In the end, it wasn’t tanks that toppled regimes—it was the written word. That’s the power of a paperback in a world of propaganda.Huge thanks to Charlie English and William Collins—Harper Collins imprint—for giving us this wild, true story of how literature quite literally set people free.If you love a good yarn and the thrill of hidden history, make sure you hit subscribe.

Today’s episode is the "Weekend Book Review," and we’re taking a deep dive into the dazzling, dramatic, and sometimes dangerous story of modern China. Welcome to the party, fellow readers! 🚀This week, we’ve got a book that's as wide as the Himalayas and as deep as the South China Sea. "Decoding China: Hard Perspectives from India," published just this August by Bloomsbury India, is not your usual weekend read. No, this one’s packed. It roars. It asks big questions, sometimes in short, sharp bursts, sometimes in winding, epic sentences that echo the sweep of history — the kind Gary Provost would craft and smile at. 📚✨Let’s talk about the editor, Ambassador Ashok Kantha, the steady hand behind this volume. He is a man who has spent nearly four decades in the thick of diplomacy, specializing in Asian affairs, three separate postings in China, and an advanced certificate in Chinese language for good measure. From New Delhi to Hong Kong, from Sri Lanka to the USA, Kantha has been there, has seen it, has shaped the dialogue. Who better to bring together insights from 21 of the sharpest minds — diplomats, military pros, scholars — all with ringside seats to China’s breathtaking rise?This book? It’s not just about China. It’s about India’s gaze. It’s about power and risk, about ambition and anxiety. It’s a symphony of essays — some short and punchy, some long and tempestuous — that track China’s big picture, global ambitions, domestic puzzles, and military dreams. Each section raises new questions. Each chapter splits open the headlines and lets the stories, and the stakes, tumble out. 🌏🔍So here’s where you come in. What does it really mean, for India, for the world, when two giants share a border and a destiny — but not always the same dreams? Why does China’s ‘rejuvenation’ keep diplomats, generals, and strategists up at night? And how do you even begin to decode a country that’s both ancient and radically new?Stick around. We’ll break it down. We’ll ask the questions no one else dares to ask. We’ll thank Ambassador Kantha and the folks at Bloomsbury India for giving us the map.

Today, we gather in the quiet light of reflection to honor a giant of storytelling—Piyush Pandey. 🎙️✨Pandey was no ordinary man—born in Jaipur, a cricket-loving boy with a mind sharp enough to top his first year at St. Stephen’s College in history. It was his relentless travel on trains across India to play Ranji Trophy cricket that gifted him a panoramic view of life’s many faces. These journeys filled a treasure chest of human stories and emotions, all of which he carried into his work, forever changing advertising in India with warmth, humor, and authentic resonance.From the unforgettable Fevicol bus that held together more than just wood, to the musical unity of “Mile Sur Mera Tumhara” and the soul-stirring classical homage of “Desh Raag,” Pandey created more than ads—he crafted culture itself. His genius connected millions, transcending products to become part of India’s collective heart. 🧡📺On October 24, 2025, at precisely 5:50 a.m., he left us—his sister Ila Arun solemnly confirming the moment. Yet, his stories live on—in jingles, in memories, in the pulse of a nation.Today's journey is inspired by the brilliant memoir "Pandeymonium: Piyush Pandey on Advertising," published by Penguin Books India in 2015, where Pandey himself reveals the philosophy behind his vibrant life and career.Curious: What is it about the everyday that transforms into something extraordinary in the hands of a storyteller like Pandey? 🤔Thank you to Piyush Pandey for his enduring gifts.Subscribe to "Revise and Resubmit" on Spotify, the YouTube channel "Weekend Researcher," and find us on Amazon Prime and Apple Podcasts for more stories that shape our understanding. 🌟🎧

Yes, that’s right—a Scopus Q1 journal, a beacon in the world of academic research! 🏆Published online by Taylor & Francis on October 27, 2025, this study opens a panoramic window to the past, where Bengali-language advertisements celebrated homeland, language, people, and geography, wrapping pain and pride together in every word. Using a multimodal Discourse-Historical Approach, Dr. Sengupta explores how these cultural products built bridges, not walls. What stories do these ads tell? How did a region torn by Partition reclaim solidarity through media?But here's what will keep you wondering: How does a border printed on a map hold back shared songs, or stop a memory passed from one generation to the next?🗺️📰Why does the idea of “homeland” pulse so powerfully, especially when the world seems to be busy drawing lines in the sand?🌟 Special thanks to Dr. Tiyasha Sengupta for this eye-opening work, and hats off to Taylor & Francis for bringing it to the world stage! 🌟Before you go—hit subscribe on "Revise and Resubmit" on Spotify, and check out "Weekend Researcher" on YouTube!

We’re stepping right into the FT50 spotlight, where the world’s most prestigious academic journals set the gold standard — and Contemporary Accounting Research stands tall among them.Our feature?✨ “On the valuation implications of unbundled disclosure” — written by the brilliant duo Xue Jia and Jeroen Suijs.Imagine a firm with two secrets: one whispered among insiders, the other hidden from every market eye. Should it reveal both at once? Or stretch the story, letting the market puzzle through clues one at a time? Jia and Suijs take us deep into this dance of information — bundled versus unbundled disclosure — and show us how it remakes the cost of capital, reshaping the very bones of risk and reward.By modeling the complex ballet between private knowledge and public surprises, their findings spark a revelation: Unbundled disclosure can lower the cost of capital by refining risk allocation and making prices wiser, sooner. But switch the sequence, and the story changes — uncertainty can rise, the crowd left guessing, prices flickering in the dark.Published online on 8 October 2025 by Wiley Periodicals LLC for the Canadian Academic Accounting Association, this paper proves why FT50 journals are where innovation comes alive.🌈 Don’t miss a beat — subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, Amazon Prime, and Apple Podcast!

Our companion on this winding journey? None other than James Joyce, the Irish maverick who turned sentences into symphonies and everyday chatter into cosmic echo chambers.📖 Finnegans Wake — first unveiled to the world on May 4, 1939 by Faber and Faber — isn’t just a book. It’s an experiment in human thought, a wild linguistic carnival where time, myth, and memory blur into one. Within its shifting pages, an innkeeper sleeps, the cosmos stirs, and the whole history of mankind snoozes beside the Liffey.From the mischievous twins Shem and Shaun to the flowing spirit of Anna Livia herself, Joyce crafts a world where every sound means something — and maybe everything. His prose pushes us to lose ourselves, only to emerge awake — changed, if not entirely sure how.💫 James Joyce, born in Dublin in 1882, lived much of his life in self-exile but never left Ireland behind. With every sentence, he rewrote the rules of modern storytelling — bold, defiant, unapologetically original. From Dubliners to Ulysses, and finally Finnegans Wake, he proved that the novel could be not just read… but heard, felt, and decoded.✨ So before the next dream begins — smash that subscribe button to stay tuned with Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and Amazon Prime.

They persuade. They brand. They cross borders without passports. Our journey begins with a single sound—China’s podcast diplomacy.In his paper Sonic Soft Power: China’s Podcast Diplomacy, presented at the 18th All India Conference of China Studies in October 2025, Mayukh Mukhopadhyay takes us behind the microphone. He shows us how, in a media landscape bound by regulation, podcasts become tools of entrepreneurship, storytelling, and soft power.He lays out how technology, platforms, and culture weave together to create a Chinese podcasting model that is not just about entertainment but about influence. About teaching and selling. About intimacy and control. About telling the world a story—and deciding who gets to listen, and how.But here is the question that lingers: when a podcast becomes a diplomat, who is really speaking—the storyteller, or the state?We thank the hosts and moderators of the 18th All India Conference of China Studies, organized by the Institute of Chinese Studies Delhi and IIM Indore.This episode is available on Amazon Prime and Apple Podcast.

This isn’t a coincidence; it’s communication in motion. The authors dive deep into over 5 million frames from 423 livestreams, using deep learning and econometric modeling to decode how movement creates meaning.They reveal something remarkable: it’s not just what a streamer says, but how they move that moves the market. Richer, more dynamic postures translate into higher energy, stronger mental imagery, and ultimately — more buying behavior. 💸🧠✨ And when these movements are synced with descriptive speech, the effect amplifies, shaping not just emotion, but decision.The implications stretch beyond screens — into every brand interaction, pitch, and performance. Livestreaming, it seems, isn’t just about selling a product; it’s about choreographing trust.📈 This is why the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, part of the elite FT50 list, stands as a beacon of excellence in marketing research — where data meets human nuance and theory comes alive.Before we wrap up, make sure you subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, Amazon Prime, and Apple Podcast, and catch us in action on YouTube at Weekend Researcher — the home of insightful, engaging, and downright fascinating research storytelling! 🔥🎧🙏 Massive thanks to Lu Liu, Jiaming Fang, and Zhenyu Ji, and to Springer Nature, for showing us that even posture — when analyzed deeply — can reveal the future of digital commerce.🤔 But here’s a question to leave you thinking — if a posture can sell a product, could the next frontier of marketing be… body language decoded by AI? 💭📡

And that’s where today’s spotlight from an FT50 powerhouse journal, the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, comes in. 🚀Our featured paper — “Don’t calm down! How affective climate emerges in start-ups” — is a thrilling exploration by Marius Jones, Elisabeth Norman, Therese Egeland, and Vidar Schei, published on October 13, 2025, by John Wiley & Sons Ltd for the Strategic Management Society.😮 In the world of new ventures, emotions run wild — optimism ignites one day, anxiety shadows the next, and somewhere between those highs and lows... a culture begins to breathe. This study dives deep into that heartbeat, following five early-stage start-ups over twenty-two months to watch how affective climate — the shared emotional atmosphere — takes shape.The authors reveal that the most creative, high-performing start-ups don’t chase constant positivity or suppress tension. Instead, they cultivate authenticity — a climate where people can show up as they are, neither too calm nor too chaotic. Emotions here aren’t enemies; they’re signals, sparks, and sometimes, solutions. From constructive meta-emotions to interpersonal validation, this research shows that emotional honesty might just be the secret competitive advantage for founders navigating uncertainty.💡 And that’s why the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, one of the FT50 elite, stands out — bridging cutting-edge management theory with the raw, real pulse of human behavior in business.🎧 So before you ride the next emotional curve of your own creative journey, hit subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, Amazon Prime, and Apple Podcast.

Paredes.🔥 Published online on October 18, 2025, by Springer Nature, this paper doesn’t just ask why we act on climate change — it asks who we become when we do.💪 It tells the story of how feminist identity — an identity built on care, collaboration, and equity — shapes the road to environmental action. The authors reveal that people who identify as feminists don’t just see climate change as a planet problem, but as a people problem. Their empathy with nature and awareness of gendered climate impacts transform concern into action — from small sustainable choices to powerful moral commitments.🪞 Imagine this: every time a feminist sees a flooded village, a burned forest, or a silent river, they don’t just see loss; they see inequality, and that realization turns into responsibility. Through theories of ethics, psychology, and identity, the study shows how who we are can shape what we save.📚 The authors remind us that true sustainability isn’t technical — it’s ethical, compassionate, inclusive. And that’s exactly what makes the Journal of Business Ethics shine as a pillar among the world’s FT50 journals — rigorous, visionary, and deeply human.💫 Before we close, don’t forget to subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, Amazon Prime, and Apple Podcast, and join us visually on our YouTube channel, Weekend Researcher, where ideas spark, and research finds its voice.🙏 Heartfelt thanks to Vanessa Apaolaza, Patrick Hartmann, Virginia Rincón, and Mario R.
