This book will appear as the second volume in the recently launched New Horizons on Managerial and Organizational Cognition book series. Volume 1, Guest Edited by Anne S. Huff, addressed the topic of strategic uncertainty. This second volume will comprise a collection of contributions that reflect more broadly on the methodological challenges that need to be confronted to advance this dynamic and exciting multidisciplinary field.
Aims and Scope
More than a quarter of century has elapsed since the publication of Mapping Strategic Thought (Huff, 1990), an agenda-setting collection of chapters that laid the central methodological foundations of the managerial and organizational cognition (MOC) field. A number of those chapters have become citation classics. However, the world is now a very different place. Many social, political, economic, and technological developments have occurred. In consequence, the nature of work and the workplace have changed and are continuing to change fundamentally. In what ways have these developments changed concomitantly the intellectual foci of MOC and the methods researchers are adopting to address the substantive issues at hand? To what extent are the MOC research methods that were in vogue in the final decade of the 20th century still relevant as a basis for tackling 21st century problems? In what ways are recent advances in the constituent base disciplines that underpin the MOC field challenging and changing its methodological practices? How, for example, are the rise of social neuroscience and big data analytics impacting on the work of MOC scholars? In what ways are advances in discourse analysis and related qualitative techniques transforming the MOC landscape and what methodological challenges do they pose for the field? How are recent developments in visualization techniques contributing to the methodological advancement and vibrancy of MOC? What are the implications of recent developments in philosophy of mind, ontology and epistemology for advancing MOC?
Chapters selected for inclusion in this second volume of New Horizons on Managerial and Organizational Cognition will offer variously state-of-the-art critical reflections on these sorts of issues and evaluate methodological advances that are seeking to address them. The MOC field has developed considerably over recent years and the purpose of this volume is to assemble a collection of articles that take stock of its methodological accomplishments and set the agenda for the next phase of its development.
