15th COGNITION IN THE ROUGH: CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Are you working on cognition-related research? Would you like to discuss your work with major scholars in the field?

Now is the time to prepare for the 15th annual "COGNITION IN THE ROUGH" workshop to be held at the Academy of Management conference in Boston this August.

The Cognition in the Rough workshop (CIR) provides an excellent opportunity to discuss your research in an informal, collegial roundtable setting. Each roundtable will have 2-3 facilitators to give feedback on 2-3 early-stage research papers, allowing plenty of time for discussion. Regardless of whether you are a senior or a more junior researcher, this workshop offers you an invaluable opportunity to receive detailed feedback from scholars who are often editors or on the editorial board of top journals.

In particular, many past CIR participants have emphasized how much they have benefited from their participation in the workshop in terms of developing their theoretical models and their planned methodology. This feedback has been instrumental in helping them further develop and polish their research for publication in top academic journals.

Whether this is your first major research project or your fiftieth, this is a chance you won't want to miss!

We are very pleased that the following scholars have agreed to participate: Neal Ashkanasy, Andrea Casey, Janet Dukerich, Dov Eden, Marlena Fiol, Daniel Forbes, Elizabeth George, Margaret Gorman, Tor Hernes, Gerard Hodgkinson, George Huber, Lynn Isabella, Glen Kreiner, Theresa Lant, Kyle Lewis, Luis Martins, Chet Miller, Frances Milliken, Sucheta Nadkarni, Rhonda Reger, David Schwandt, Kathleen Sutcliffe, Subra Tangirala, Mary Waller, and Dave Whetten.

Sponsored by the Managerial and Organizational Cognition Division at the annual Academy of Management Meeting, the workshop is scheduled for Saturday, August 4th from 8:00AM - 12 PM.
