Towards the Micro-Foundations Of Organizational Learning

Track I

Date: Sunday, October 12, 2008
 

Time: 15:00 – 16:30

Interest Group Panel

Room: Salon 17
Session Chair:
Maurizio Zollo, Bocconi University

Panelists:

The quest to endogenize, or at least seriously consider, micro-level processes in the study of strategically relevant phenomena has been recently launched (or re-launched) in a number of conferences and journal special issues. The study of micro- or individual-level dimensions in the context of organizational learning and innovation processes has received, however, relatively less attention. The objective of this workshop is to stimulate the scholarly debate on how to develop a research agenda on micro-foundational processes in the study of the phenomena that characterize our Interest Group. The plan is to first share some of the current thinking and empirical work currently being carried out in this area, from managerial cognition to motivational processes and down to the neural correlates of learning behavior. This will form the basis for a collective discussion about how the recent advancements in psychology and in neuroscience can be leveraged to study the role of the individual manager’s dispositions in shaping organizational learning and innovation outcomes.
