“…Such problems could also arise within companies using manipulative or oppressive techniques. Such forms of 'negative resonance' are not discussed in our original approach, but this means that "[t]he status of plural dimensions of power and politics in relation to Rosa's normative monism of resonance need to be further explored" (Küpers, 2020;31).…”

In modern capitalist societies, companies are exposed to enormous pressure to accelerate. However, it has increasingly become apparent that the social and economic acceleration which is the result of systemic imperatives tends to produce conflict both on the micro-level of personal temporal patterns and rhythms and on the macro-ecological level, where it tends to undermine the proper times for natural regeneration and reproduction. Corporations are increasingly called upon as corporate citizens to fulfil their responsibilities to stakeholders such as employees or ecosystems. Business ethics approaches therefore seek to develop strategies for fulfilling this responsibility in view of these conflicts created by social acceleration. In this contribution, we first present a diagnosis of acceleration imperatives for companies based on a sociological analysis of social acceleration. Then we examine the normative aspects of conflicts created by acceleration for employees and the ecosphere using the sociological conception of resonance. We attempt to articulate conceptually the normative requirements for a business ethics which are capable of dealing with the problems of social acceleration in corporations with a particular focus on a resonant stakeholder approach.

“…This paradox of 'far-but-close' is typically experienced in communication through conference calls, video conferencing, blogging, intranet and the use of further media. Experiencing being 'far but close' has the potential to jeopardise and displace relations and alienate resonances (Küpers, 2021) of those involved in virtual settings. Relationally, this concerns, for instance, the cultivation of mutual trust or sharing of implicit knowledge (Cramton, 2001;Zhao, 2007), losses of sensory and expressive communications, reduction in intimacy, opportunities to bond with others and emotional involvement (Mann et al, 2000).…”

Digitalisation offers a wide array of opportunities, but also challenges, for universities and business schools alike, regarding the provision and delivery of their teaching and learning activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted some of these challenges, as it forced educational institutions to move their pedagogic activities online in line with new governmental regulations. In this article, we identify and discuss critically the following three interconnected challenges: (1) shifting from direct embodied co-presence to technologically mediated telepresence, (2) re-embodying teaching and learning activities and (3) rethinking the purpose and relevance of teachings in business schools. We explore these challenges through a phenomenological lens, informed by the Heideggerian concepts of enframing ( Gestell) and releasement ( Gelassenheit), with a focus on (re-)embodiment. Finally, we discuss the need, for teachers and learners, to be able to reflectively move between embodied and digital(ised) forms of learning and teaching and outline some implications and perspectives regarding the development of an integral pedagogy.
