Chapter 1 Exploring Methods in Managerial and Organizational Cognition: Advances, Controversies, and Contributions

This book comprises the second volume in the recently launched New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition book series. Volume 1 ( Sund, Galavan, & Huff, 2016 ), addressed the topic of strategic uncertainty. This second volume comprises a collection of contributions that variously report new methodological developments in managerial and organizational cognition, reflect critically on those developments, and consider the challenges that have yet to be confronted in order to further advance this exciting and dynamic interdisciplinary field. Contextualizing within an overarching framework the various contributions selected for inclusion in the present volume, in this opening chapter we reflect more broadly on what we consider the most significant developments that have occurred over recent years and the most significant challenges that lie ahead.
