CALL FOR PAPERS
The MOC Division of the Academy of Management invites contributions to the 2015 Frontiers in Managerial and Organizational Cognition Conference, to be held at Roskilde University, just outside Copenhagen, Denmark, in June 2015. The stated domain of the Managerial and Organizational Cognition Division (MOC) is the study of how organization members model reality and how such models interact with behaviors. Major topics explored over the few decades of existence of the Division have included: attention, attribution, decision making, identity, ideology, information processing, learning, memory, mental representations and images, perceptual and interpretive processes, social construction, and symbols. This event aims to explore the frontiers of cognition research. Interesting new frontiers submissions might take a number of different forms. An indicative list includes work that:
· Pushes current boundaries in understanding about cognition itself (implicit social cognition, emotion, intuition, sub conscience, trust etc.)
· Explores new connections with others interested in management and organizations (leadership, teamwork, identity, status, power, etc.)
· Considers the 'underside' of cognition (abuse, mistrust, illusion, etc.)
· Brings insights from less familiar settings (informal organizations, social entrepreneurs, etc.)
· Goes beyond traditional Academy of Management boundaries to consider research in subjects as diverse as neuro-science, -finance and -economics.
Full Papers and Work-in-Progress
We are committed to providing a forum for high quality conceptual and empirical papers across the full spectrum of topics that advance the frontiers of managerial and organizational cognition research utilizing diverse methods and data sources, and from a wide variety of theoretical perspectives. Authors who wish to present their papers at the conference should electronically submit a 10-30 page manuscript plus required abstract of no more than 150 words, followed by 4-6 key words.
In addition to soliciting full papers for presentation that are at a more advanced stage of development, a differentiating hallmark of this conference when compared with many similar conferences is the high quality developmental feedback we will provide to work-in-progress. Scholars at all levels (PhD students through to senior Professors) are most welcome to submit their work-in-progress. MOC is a diverse field and many MOC scholars may feel isolated when they are the only member of their school's faculty researching a particular topic or using a particular theoretical lens, methodology, or data set. Those who apply MOC content to work in other substantive areas may also feel the need for more interaction with those also working on cognitive topics. The first conference day is entirely devoted to advancing your work-in-progress. It will feature a unique combination of peer review, discussion and writing time, to help you advance your work at the frontiers of managerial and organizational cognition. In recognition of the fact that many of the most highly cited works in the MOC domain are books rather than journal articles, we are not limiting the workshop to journal articles only. Your work-in-progress could be, for example:
· A full paper, research note, or book chapter in early to mid-stages of development
· A book manuscript in early stages of development
· A funding proposal
