Cognitive representations are central to management and strategy, and over the past five decades the field has curated an extensive list of constructs that describe cognitive representations at the individual, group, organization, and industry level. Yet, the relationships between these constructs, and the differences in their formulations, definitions, and impact, is often obscure. This “proliferation without consolidation” limits our collective understanding of a critical phenomenon. The aim of this professional development workshop is to convene scholars working at the intersection of cognition and organizational management, strategy, and entrepreneurship. In the first part of the workshop, a panel of senior scholars will discuss the state of the field, including key constructs, differences between them, impacts, and inconsistencies in their definitions and underlying assumptions. Their aim overall will be to consolidate existing theory on cognitive representations, as well as identify promising areas for future research. In the second half of the program, the panelists will be joined by additional five roundtable discussion leaders, who will lead individual participatory discussions with PDW participants on ongoing work and proposed projects. Overall, the objective of this workshop is to acknowledge and consolidate existing progress made through a cognitive perspective, as well as to prepare the ground and seed community for future research in this area.

The PDW consists of two parts: Part 1 Panel presentation and panel discussion (no registration required) and Part 2 Roundtable discussion (register with the link below). If you are interested in participating in the Part 2 roundtable discussion and receiving feedback on a research project related to managerial cognition, please submit a one-page summary of your research project using the link below. All applicants will be notified of the decision by late July. If you have any questions, please contact mindsatworkPDW@gmail.com. Submission Deadline: July 1, 2024, Anywhere on Earth.
