In this episode of the Academy of Management Review's Origins Series, Keith Leavitt and Kira Schabram discuss the development of their AMR article titled "Ghost in the Machine: On Organizational Theory in the Age of Machine Learning." This article was co-authored with Prashanth Hariharan and Chris Barnes. In this interview series, we ask, "Where does theory come from?" to demystify the theory-building process. Authors of forthcoming AMR articles discuss how they got the ideas for their papers and share their process for developing new theories in the field of management.
