FUTURE INVESTIGATION
Research Proposals
Planned studies from the Academy's 80-project agenda. Each detailed page contains a research problem, hypothesis, proposed methods, work packages and sources.
P-009Research Proposal · Mg
Which work should remain discretionary when AI systems enter management routines?
Working hypothesisClearly defined human override and feedback loops may protect decision quality and worker agency.
P-010Research Proposal · Mg
Can organisations reduce knowledge loss without excluding older employees from digital transformation?
Working hypothesisReciprocal mentoring tied to documented processes may outperform one-directional retraining.
P-011Research Proposal · Mg
Which leading indicators detect executive dysfunction before financial deterioration?
Working hypothesisDecision latency, escalation patterns and dissent quality may reveal hidden governance failures.
P-012Research Proposal · Mg
How does repeated crisis exposure alter organisational learning?
Working hypothesisIncident reviews integrated into budgeting may prevent the recurrence of known weaknesses.
P-028Research Proposal · Ph
Where does moral responsibility reside in distributed human–machine processes?
Working hypothesisResponsibility should be allocated across design, deployment, oversight and appeal rather than assigned to a single actor.
P-029Research Proposal · Et
When does worker monitoring cease to be meaningfully voluntary?
Working hypothesisPower asymmetry makes formal consent inadequate without independent contestation mechanisms.
P-030Research Proposal · Et
Which features of appeal systems produce procedurally fair outcomes?
Working hypothesisExplainability has limited value unless affected people can contest evidence and obtain remedy.
P-045Research Proposal · Rs
What happens when many critical operations rely on the same small set of providers?
Working hypothesisA firm’s individual redundancy may not prevent systemic co-failure.
P-046Research Proposal · Rs
How can physical hazard exposure propagate through credit, insurance and trade?
Working hypothesisNetwork topology may be as important as aggregate exposure in predicting cascading losses.
P-047Research Proposal · Rs
Through which channels does sovereign risk affect private investment decisions?
Working hypothesisCurrency risk and domestic interest costs may reinforce one another during shocks.
P-048Research Proposal · Rs
How can companies detect legal exposure without relying on static country risk lists?
Working hypothesisTransaction-level monitoring and explicit escalation rules may outperform annual compliance reviews.
P-051Research Proposal · Ed
Can realistic uncertainty exercises transfer more effectively to executive decisions than lectures alone?
Working hypothesisFacilitated reflection may be the mediator of simulation effectiveness.
P-052Research Proposal · Ed
Can employer-informed micro-credentials close skill gaps without fragmenting qualifications?
Working hypothesisStrong assessment and portable recognition may be more important than course proliferation.
P-057Research Proposal · Ai
What evidence is needed to disclose and verify AI assistance in academic writing?
Working hypothesisProvenance logs and source-level verification may improve reproducibility more than blanket declarations.
P-074Research Proposal · Da
Can fairness conclusions remain stable when populations and inputs change?
Working hypothesisRobustness testing across plausible shifts may be essential for responsible deployment.
P-076Research Proposal · Da
Which evaluation designs distinguish transformation effects from business-cycle noise?
Working hypothesisStaggered implementation with transparent comparison groups may improve inference.
