Synopsis

This book explores the methodological frontiers of managerial andorganizational cognition (MOC), an exciting and diverse interdisciplinary bodyof work that began with the publication in 1958 of JamesG. March and Herbert A. Simon’s classic work Organizations. Enteringits fourth decade, the field gained significant momentum following the appearance of Anne S. Huff’s (1990) book Mapping Strategic Thought, whichexplored the (then) methodological frontiers of MOC. The world has changed since then and so, too, have the methods available to MOC researchers; it is timely, therefore, to examine theextent to which the methods that were foundational to the development of MOC arestill fit for purpose.

Taking stock of MOC’s many methodological accomplishments, the thought-provokingchapters comprising this second volume of the New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition book seriesset the agenda for the next phase of the field’s development.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Managerial and organizational cognition has sustained and gained the interest of researchers for over a quarter of a century. The early interest generated by Anne Huff s 1990 book, Mapping Strategic Thought, helped inspire a wave of research that explored managers conscious and deliberative cognition. The world has changed since then, and so have the methods available to researchers. This book takes up the challenge of bringing new horizons in methods to its readers by providing the most comprehensive 21st century MOC methods text to have been produced. We bring rich insights into approaches unheard of when MOC emerged such as the potential for fMRI as a research method and how fMRI can be used in conjunction with more established techniques such as think aloud . The past 25 years have also seen a shift from an almost exclusive emphasis on cold cognition to recognition of the important role that affect ¬ or hot cognition plays in managerial decision-making. The MOC field has developed considerably over recent years, and this volume takes stock of its methodological accomplishments and sets the agenda for the next phase of its development.
