Soneshein, the Henry Gardiner Symonds Professor of Management in Organizational Behavior at Rice Business, published research on how the Houston Symphony was able to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic and get “jazzy” with their content. The podcast interview will cover the research and discuss how organizations can innovate their way out of a crisis and feature a performance by the symphony’s quartet.
