17th COGNITION IN THE ROUGH: CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Are you working on cognition-related research? Would you like to discuss your work with major
scholars in the field? Now is the time to prepare for the 17th annual "COGNITION IN THE ROUGH"
workshop to be held at the Academy of Management conference in Philadelphia, PA this August.
The Cognition in the Rough workshop (CIR) provides an excellent opportunity to discuss your research
in an informal, collegial roundtable setting. CIR is intended to help scholars develop a research paper.
Each roundtable will have 2-3 facilitators to give feedback on 2-3 early-stage research papers,
allowing plenty of time for discussion. Regardless of whether you are a senior or a more junior
researcher, this workshop offers you an invaluable opportunity to receive detailed feedback from
scholars who are often editors or on the editorial board of top journals.
In particular, many past CIR participants have emphasized how much they have benefited from their
participation in the workshop in terms of developing their theoretical models and their planned
methodology. This feedback has been instrumental in helping them further develop and polish their
research for publication in top academic journals. Whether this is your first major research project or
your fiftieth, this is a chance you won't want to miss!
We are very pleased that the following scholars have agreed to participate as facilitators: Neal
Ashkanasy, Andrea Casey, Dov Eden, Janet Dukerich, C. Marlena Fiol, Elizabeth George, Margaret
Gorman, Tor Hernes, Gerard Hodgkinson, George Huber, Lynn Isabella, Glen Kreiner, Kyle Lewis, Luis
Martins, Steve Mezias, Chet Miller, Frances Milliken, Sucheta Nadkarni, Kathleen Sutcliffe, Subra
Tangirala, and Dave Whetten
Sponsored by the Managerial and Organizational Cognition Division at the annual Academy of
Management Meeting, the workshop is scheduled for Saturday morning, August 2nd and will end in a
shared lunch with Diamonds in the Rough, a new MOC division PDW which focuses on the
development of the scholar.
KEY DATES:
Open for submission APRIL 1, 2014; close date MAY 15, 2014
Send submissions to:
cirpdw@gmail.com
Acceptance notices will be sent out after JUNE 15, 2014

17th ANNUAL "COGNITION IN THE ROUGH" PDW WORKSHOP
Information on past CIR workshops can be found at
http://division.aomonline.org/moc/CIR%20homepage.htm
WHO: This roundtable workshop is open to junior and senior scholars who are doing research related
to managerial and organizational cognition. Pre-registration for the PDW is required and space is
limited. Submissions will be evaluated to ensure fit with the session and priority will be given to early
submissions and first-time attendees. Given space constraints, the expectation for this PDW is that,
even for co-authored papers with multiple authors, one author will attend the PDW to represent the
paper. This PDW is intended to help authors develop work in progress and, as a result, we cannot
accept papers that have already been accepted for presentation elsewhere at the AOM 2014 Annual
Meeting.
WHAT: Your submission should include the following four sections:
I. Title page: On the title page, in addition to the papers title and the names and affiliations of the
authors, please also indicate whether each author is a doctoral student or faculty member.
II. Brief abstract (not to exceed 150 words) and four keywords (selected from the following list). Please
rank the four keywords you select in order of importance (1=most important).
