    Research in management revolves around firms & markets, operating at a
    macro-meso level, but necessitates assumptions about the behavior of
    individuals. The Behavioral Strategy workshop at AoM is a forum to
    deliberate realistic, parsimonious & generalizable theories linking
    micro-behavior to macro-outcomes in organizations & markets. Back for the
    second year, it features an expanded panel of top scholars in the broad
    research area of behavioral strategy.

    Speakers will discuss what constitutes behavioral strategy, provide examples
    of research & suggest future research opportunities. Participant will
    develop their own work in dialogs on substance & method. We expect a diverse
    crowd, some prominent & some promising, from economics, psychology,
    sociology & organizational theory, utilizing methods such as experiments,
    simulations, archival data & qualitative fieldwork.
