Researchers of strategy often think about organizations and markets, not individuals. Scholars who study individuals infrequently consider their behavior in aggregation. Yet the two are intertwined: If we understand individual behavior, we can develop realistic theories of organizations and markets. And by observing behavior in organizations and markets, we can understand individual behavior better.
Returning for the third year, Behavioral Strategy is a meeting place for an interdisciplinary group. Some of us study individuals, others research organizations, markets, and cultures. This year, we will engage and be engaged by three scientists who made discoveries and developed methods related to our interests: David Lazer, expert on computational social science (Science 2006; PNAS 2007; Science 2009); Hod Lipson, co-inventor of the robotic scientist (Nature 2005; Science 2009; PNAS 2010); and Martin Nowak, a mathematician and biologist whose discoveries unravel the evolution of human cooperation and language.
Advance your own work: Submit an abstract! The panelists can advise you on theory, method, and framing. If you wish, submit a 1,000-word summary by July 15. In it, identify how the research is related to behavioral strategy. One submission may win the Behavioral Strategy Prize.
Interested? Please register now. Seating is limited! Regrettably, we cannot allow walk-ins.
