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.

Organizational cognition: A critical perspective on the theories in use2017 •
This chapter is concerned with exploring the ontology of organisational cognition (OC) through conceptual mapping in order to recognise and understand what OC really is about. The objective is not to provide a comprehensive literature review of this area, but that of mapping the concept of OC so that the meaning of the terms can be defined and its field better determined. In so doing, the article considers several perspectives under which the domain of " organisation " interacts with or relate to " cognition " (or it does not do so). A table that summarises similarities and differences among approaches is then presented. This table is then used as a tool to demonstrate possible overlaps, gaps, and define possible directions for future research in the field.
New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition
New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition1993 •
This paper provides a framework for organizing research and theory on cognition as discussed in the managerial/organizational literature. Cognition is herein considered to be a property of systems and thereby independent of a specific level of analysis. Research on cognition can be classified on the basis of whether the main concern is with the structure or process of cognition and whether it attends to differences in cognitive style. Cognition is discussed across the individual, group and organizational levels of analysis. The theoretical and methodological issues which emerge are then explored. Future research directions are suggested. 1The increasing interest in the cognitive approach to organization analysis is based on the assumption that organizational behaviors are manifestations of cognitive phenomena. But beyond this assumption, researchers differ widely in their preferred level of analysis and methodological approach. Many insist that "organizations don't think o...

In this brief introduction, we reflect on the diversity of studies connecting cognition to innovation and the enormous potential that exists for further research. Research streams on cognition in organizations, innovation in organizations, and intraand entrepreneurship have developed in parallel over the past decades, with frequent touchpoints, notably in terms of theories of cognition informing studies on the processes of innovation and creativity. Cognition theories have thus been considered as micro-foundations of many theories of innovation. Here, we outline the many ways that theories of cognition can yield insights for studies of innovation and discuss the contributions of chapters comprising this third volume of New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition.
Computational Organizational Cognition: A Study on Thinking and Action in Organizations
Computational Organizational Cognition: ToC + Preface + Chapter 12021 •
Computational Organizational Cognition presents simulations to clearly assess the advantages of agent-based computational organizational cognition (AOC) for both theory and practice, demonstrating how AOC is an essential instrument to explore, understand and analyze the inner complexities of organizational cognition.
This article analyzes organizational functioning from the perspective of social cognitive theory, which explains psychosocial functioning in terms of triadic reciprocal causation. In this causal structure, behavior, cognitive, and other personal factors and environmental events operate as interacting determinants that influence each other bidirectionally. The application of the theory is illustrated in a series of experiments of complex managerial decision making, using a simulated organization. The interactional causal structure is tested in conjunction with experimentally varied organizational properties and belief systems that can enhance or undermine the operation of the self-regulatory determinants. Induced beliefs about the controllability of organizations and the conception of managerial ability strongly affect both managers' self-regulatory processes and their organizational attainments. Organizational complexity and assigned performance standards also serve as contributing influences. Path analyses reveal that perceived managerial self-efficacy influences managers' organizational attainments both directly and through its effects on their goal setting and analytic thinking. Personal goals, in turn, enhance organizational attainments directly and via the mediation of analytic strategies. As managers begin to form a self-schema of their efficacy through further experience, the performance system is regulated more strongly and intricately through their self-conceptions of managerial efficacy. Although the relative strength of the constituent influences changes with increasing experience, these influences operate together as a triadic reciprocal control system.

The substitution of knowledge to information as the entity that organizations process and deliver raises a number of questions concerning the nature of knowledge. The dispute on the codifiability of tacit knowledge and that juxtaposing the epistemology of practice vs. the epistemology of possession can be better faced by revisiting two crucial debates. One concerns the nature of cognition and
MANAGERIAL COGNITION: A REVIEW AND RECONCEPTUALISATION
MANAGERIAL COGNITION: A REVIEW AND RECONCEPTUALISATION2020 •
The managerial cognition construct has been used in strategic management literature to illustrate various organisational phenomena related to organisational capabilities building and strategic outcomes. This article reviews the relevant literature to determine key dimensions of this construct and offer a reconceptualisation of managerial cognition. Based on the dynamic theory and managerial cognition perspective, this article distinguishes between cognition of environment and cognition of resources as two subsets of managerial cognition. This article then advances that cognition of the environment and cognition of resources can differentially and complementarily influence the creation of capabilities of an organisation and its competitive advantage.
