    Hi List,

    I have a question if you would be so kind as to help me:
    The MOC division is about cognitions in organizations and managers,
    correct? Such as dual-processing and implicit effects in the workplace,
    etc? Someone told me it was more macro, and that the division focuses
    mostly on the entire organization, instead of at the person level? From
    the information provided on the AOM website, I could not discern the answer.

    Thank you so much in advance for your answers!
    Sincerely,
    Lilunia

    Hi Lilunia/Fabio (et al)-
    This is a good question, in the sense of getting at what comprises organizational cognition. With 'managerial' in the title as well, it seems that the individual should be in consideration, at least in context -- perhaps a "meso" point of view rather than strictly micro or macro.
     
    So while I can't answer for the division, my own interest has been with team-level knowledge, information processing, & decision-making. In these, the individual knowledge component is, needless to say, critical. Conference papers on these topics seem to be well-received in MOC.
