    Thinking about Cognition

    Fifth anniversary volume

    This book will appear as the fifth volume in the New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition series. Previous volumes have examined topics such as strategic uncertainty, innovation, business models, and methodological advances and challenges in MOC research. The 2021 anniversary volume will comprise a collection of contributions that discuss frontiers of MOC research, address the challenges we face, inspire other scholars, and provide guidance on how to proceed. We thus hope to produce a volume that will bring readers up to date and point to ways forward within MOC-related topic areas.

    Aims and Scope

    The broad field of managerial and organizational cognition (MOC) has diversified over the years. Where early studies of MOC focused on theories of rational conscious thought, illustrated for example by schema theory or sensemaking theory, over the years we have seen explorations of  unconscious processing, heuristics and cognitive biases, along with emotions, identity, and the "darker" sides of cognition. Our methodological toolkit has developed too. For example, the rise of social neuroscience and big data analytics, as well as advances in discourse analysis and related qualitative techniques, are helping to transform the MOC landscape. In this volume, we invite cognition scholars to explore and outline recent theoretical and empirical advances. It is thus the intention of this collection of articles to take stock by reflecting on the frontiers of the field and addressing the future beyond our current state of the art. The aim is to produce a collection of papers that individually bring the reader up to date on a particular area of cognition research and guide future research. Such a paper could be based on a focused literature review, a meta-analysis, a conceptual piece, or an empirical piece that demonstrates emerging methods. We are also open to critical work including pieces that address ethical concerns that may emerge at the field's new horizons.

    We encourage papers exploring new horizons within any of the topics associated with MOC theory, such as attention, attribution, decision making, identity, ideology, information processing, creativity, learning, memory, mental representations and images, categories, cognitive frames, perceptual and interpretive processes, social construction, social dilemmas, change etc..

    Chapters selected for inclusion in this volume of New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition will offer readers an understanding of the state-of-the-art on a particular topic, and give inspiration to think about cognition and guidance on navigating forward. We are open to studies that address the frontiers of established topics or cognition theories, or that focus on topics that are more recently emerging.

    Submission Procedure and Timescales

    Scholars are invited to first submit a proposal (3-5 pages) to the editors on or before May 1, 2020.

    All editorial decision responses to proposals will be completed by June 1, 2020. We aim to select 10-12 papers for publication.

    Authors invited to prepare a full manuscript (5,000-8,000 words) must submit by November 1, 2020.

    Following a double-blind peer review process, final versions of chapters will be due by Feb 1, 2021. Publication is expected by summer 2021.
