Posted on behalf of Michael Lounsbury.
Michael Cohen, who died on February 2, 2013, was well known for his scholarly contributions that include the famous paper on the "garbage can model of organizational choice" (with March & Olsen, ASQ 1972), and his subsequent work on leadership and ambiguity, learning and organizational routines, and Pragmatism with an eye towards understanding the relationship of routine action to psychological systems of memory and perception.
So far, we have received memorial remarks from Sid Winter and Curtis LeBaron, as well as comments posted to the blog by Dan Levinthal:

We encourage others who knew or were inspired by Michael to share their thoughts with the OMT community as well -- either by contacting me, or simply posting your thoughts and comments here on the OMT Blog.
