Organizational Cognition cover

Organizational Cognition is a collection of chapters written by scholars from around the world. The editors outline the history of two approaches to the study of cognition in organizations, the computational approach and the interpretive approach. The chapters represent some of the most cutting-edge research on organizational cognition, covering research that spans many levels of analysis. Much of the work in the book demonstrates how computational and interpretive approaches can be combined in a way that provides greater insight into cognitive processes in and among organizations. The editors conclude by elaborating the likely boundary conditions of each approach and how they can be combined for a more complete understanding of cognition in organizations.

"...this book provides a fascinating story of the emergence of theoretical constructs, metaphors, and paradigms in a topical area of organizational research....If the purpose of this book is to be provocative and motivational to scholars in this area, I think it succeeds. Research directions and issues are identified; numerous conceptualizations meriting tests are proposed. The importance of the study of cognition in organizations is firmly established, and...the challenge is laid out and will hopefully inspire interested parties."
