The Research Handbook on Organizational Cognition (RHOC) is designed to guide scholars around existing, prospective, and possible expansions of knowledge of the topic. In so doing, it offers an overview aimed at positioning the field in relation to other areas of research, both within management and organization research and other social science disciplines. It aims at presenting a number of paradigms, frameworks, theories, and models – called ‘perspectives’ – to map the field. The book also covers methodology, by covering not only current more established methods, but least used methods that present potentials for moving the field forward. Finally, RHOC dedicates an entire section on the challenges that the study of organizational cognition has offered thus far indicating the areas in which more research is deemed necessary.

We hereby invite proposals for book chapters for the upcoming Handbook on Organizational Cognition (under contract).
Description:
This research handbook on organizational cognition (RHOC) is designed to guide scholars around
existing, prospective, and possible knowledge of the topic. In so doing, it offers an overview
aimed at positioning the field in relation to other areas of research, both within management and
organization research and elsewhere. It presents a number of paradigms, frameworks,
theories, and models – called ‘perspectives’ – to map the field. The book then moves to cover
methodology, by covering not only current more established methods, but least used and those
methods that present potentials for moving the field forward. Finally, RHOC dedicates an entire
section on the challenges that the study of organizational cognition has offered thus far indicating
the areas in which more research is deemed necessary.
Themes covered:
We invite proposals for chapters on various topics related to organizational cognition, including (but not limited to):
Organizational learning and cognition
Coping with emotions
Cognition in strategic management
The role of memory
Shared cognition
Mental models
Sensemaking
Organizational neuroscience
Socially situated cognition
Distributed cognition
Radical approaches to cognition
Ethnographic studies in organizational research
Practice-based research
Interviews
Causal cognitive mapping methods
Social network analysis

Machine learning and cognition
Survey-based research
About the chapters:
Chapters should present a clear, concise, and succinct account of the topic, with a clear understanding that they are aimed at colleagues, not students, or a wider audience outside of academia. The length of the chapter should be kept around 5,000 to 7,000 words (all included).
Practical details:
