COMMENTS FROM THE
PROGRAM CHAIR
The result of this
massive collaborative effort is a variety of paper sessions and symposia
to meet the intellectual interests of almost any MOC member.
On the program this year you will find 20 paper sessions and 31
symposia (including 10 Showcase symposia) sponsored or co-sponsored by
the MOC Division. We also
have 22 interactive papers and 24 visual paper presentations on the
program, so there certainly should be something for everyone among these
opportunities.
As you plan your
days (and at least one early evening) at the Meetings, let me point out
two special sessions that you might want to put on your schedule.
On Monday, August 11th at 10:40 the MOC Division
“officially” welcomes you to the Meetings with the MOC Welcome Session
(Anaheim Convention Center (ACC), Room 210A).
The highlight of this session will be your chance to hear the
comments of Professor James. G. March, our 2008 MOC Distinguished
Scholar. Then at 4:10 on
Tuesday in ACC 204A we have a Theme Session entitled “The questions MOC
has asked, is asking, and should be asking in the future.”
Mary Ann Glynn will host a distinguished panel of MOC luminaries
including Marlena Fiol, Dennis Gioia, Joe Porac, and Mike Pratt.
This session will be followed immediately by the MOC Business
Meeting in the same room, and the justly-famous MOC Social Hour starting
at 6:30 in ACC 201D.
Below is a brief
summary of the MOC paper sessions scheduled for the Meetings.
Note that this is a preliminary schedule, so make sure you check
the time and location when the final program is published.
You will also need to check the final program for the scheduling
of symposia, interactive paper sessions, and visual paper sessions.
On behalf of the MOC Division officers, I look forward to seeing
you all of you in

COMMENTS FROM THE
PDW CHAIR
As in previous years, the MOC Division is proud to
continue sponsoring on a standalone basis the
Cognition in the Rough
workshop. Now in its 11th
year, Cognition in the Rough continues to attract the services of a
number of the field’s most accomplished scholars who serve willingly as
mentors, providing much valued developmental feedback on
cognition-related research ideas submitted by workshop participants.
Organized this year by Daniel A. Gruber, Morela Hernandez,
Sucheta Nadkarni, Nils Plambeck and David M. Wasieleski, this year’s
panel of scholars/mentors includes: Fran Ackermann, Andrea Casey, Colin
Eden, Dov Eden, Mark Fenton-O’Creevy, Marlena Fiol, Raghu Garud, Susan
Houghton, George P. Huber, Lynn A. Isabella, Theresa K. Lant, Mark J.
Martinko, Stephen Mezias, New to this year, the MOC Division is sponsoring,
again on a standalone basis, a PDW designed to give our international
members feedback on papers that they intend to submit for publication to
top Within the confines of this newsletter it is only possible to highlight on a selective basis some of the many exciting events that we have lined up within our program of PDWs as a whole. I encourage you to take a closer look at the entire program and attend as many of these sessions as your schedule and interests allow. PDW events are scheduled between 12:00 noon on Friday 8th August and 12:00 noon on Sunday 10th August. I look forward to seeing you all in
COMMENTS FROM THE
DIVISION CHAIR
MOC in We’re continuing with several old and new traditions that have made MOC uniquely MOC! A few highlights you don’t want to miss --
MOC on the web An exciting idea from last year became reality this year, with the Inaugural MOC Archivist, Tim Vogus, joining the MOC executive team. Tim is not only preserving the past – important, with MOC’s growth -- but also helping to shape the future by reflecting on where we’ve been and where we might go as a Division. Tim and I have been working on improving the website, so be sure to check it out soon for new ideas and resources. Finally, I’ve enjoyed a great year chairing MOC,
thanks to all of you. I echo
Mike Pratt’s sentiments in this newsletter a year ago when he wrote:
“Last but not least, I wanted to say that it has been a pleasure
to serve as Division Chair this year. What is more, from what I
saw at the midwinter meeting, the best is yet to come for MOC!”
Here, here! See
you in Best regards, Mary Ann
COMMENTS FROM THE PAST
DIVISION CHAIR
“Out with the old. In with the new.” It is hard to believe that this 5 year ride that starts with Program Chair-Elect is nearly done for me. My last act as Past Division Chair was to convince, coerce, cajole – and sometimes simply ask – people to run for office. We had a great slate of candidates who had volunteered to run for the division chair-elect and international representative-at-large positions. I would like to thank the MOC membership for their enthusiastic support of the MOC elections -- 38% of the MOC membership participated in the process of voting (higher than the academy average of 36 percent). And the winners are… Mark Martinko (Division chair-elect) and Sally Maitlis (International representative-at-large). I would like to congratulate Mark and Sally! It certainly is easier to end my term knowing that the Division remains in such capable hands. Thank you all for a great half decade. It has been an honor to serve in such a wonderful Division, and a real pleasure to work with such fantastic officers. So what can YOU do to keep the future of MOC bright? …. Think about it!Division
Chair-Elect
Mark has an extensive record of service. He is a
past president and fellow of the Southern Management Association. He has
been a member of the MOC division since its inception and has served as
a reviewer, presenter, session chair, faculty member for Cognition in
the Rough, and as the
International Representative-at-Large
Sally Maitlis is an Associate Professor of
Organizational Behavior in the Sauder School of Business at the
COMMENTS
FROM THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE-AT-LARGE
I hope this message finds you doing great. There are several exciting doctoral student initiatives that I wanted to fill you in on. Thanks to the generosity of Prentice Hall and John Wiley & Sons, Inc. we have our first set of student reviewer awards. We had six students recognized for their reviewing capabilities with awards that include $50 and a certificate of recognition. These students can use the money to subsidize portions of a hotel room, meals, etc. I am working to secure additional awards for students next year – let me know if you have any leads. Additionally, Palgrave Macmillan has donated several copies of the book Authoring a PhD to the MOC division. I found this book to be quite helpful as I worked on my dissertation proposal. We will be giving a bunch of students their own copy of the book as door prizes at the MOC Business Meeting – we hope to see you there! I will be joining a couple of the board members
from the MOC Division at the New Doctoral Student Consortium’s “Meet the
division” roundtable. Please
encourage your doctoral student colleagues and/or incoming students to
stop by and say hello so they can learn about the exciting things going
on at MOC during the sessions in Finally, I want to encourage doctoral students to submit their work to the Cognition in the Rough workshop. As you all know, this is an incredible event to receive feedback on research and it is a great opportunity for doctoral students to interact with senior MOC scholars. Please submit your proposals by June 15th to cir6@unl.edu; more details are available in the CIR Call for Papers, also in this newsletter. That is the news for now. Please email me at dagruber@umich.edu with any additional comments or suggestions. I look forward to seeing you all in August. With warm wishes, Dan
11th 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 11th annual "COGNITION IN THE ROUGH"
workshop to be held at the
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 scholars and 2-3
researchers, allowing plenty of time for discussion. Regardless of
whether you are a more senior or 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 agreed to participate:
Fran Ackermann, Andrea Casey, Colin Eden, Dov Eden, Mark Fenton-O'Creevy,
Marlena Fiol, Raghu Garud, Gerard Hodgkinson, Susan Houghton, George
Huber, Lynn Isabella, Theresa Lant, Mark Martinko, Stephen Mezias,
Frances Milliken, Chet Miller, Rhonda Reger, Majken Schultz, Mary Waller
Sponsored by the Managerial and Organizational Cognition Division at the

MOC DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM CALL FOR PROPOSALS MOC and OMT are pleased to announce their annual Doctoral Student Consortium will once again be part of the pre-conference activities at the Annual Academy of Management Meeting in Anaheim. Continuing the partnership started a few years ago, OMT and MOC co-organize this Doctoral Consortium to help doctoral students organize their thoughts about the final phase of their doctoral programs, advance their research, publish their dissertation or parts thereof, find a job in the academic or professional world, advance their career and generally achieve happiness and enlightenment. Following on the success of last year's consortium, we will retain previous innovations that allowed for greater degrees of personalization and interaction between faculty and students. In addition to the traditional stand-up presentations by our distinguished group of panelists, who will discuss what it means to conduct 'great' research and dispense various pearls of wisdom about all the different ways to successfully manage your career, each session includes roundtable discussions where participants will be able to interact with a distinguished group of faculty in a small-group format to gain and share additional insights. We will also once again conduct our highly popular research roundtables session, where participants will be offered the opportunity to discuss their dissertation research with distinguished scholars in the field. As a new innovation this year, we and the OMT Junior Faculty Consortium are jointly sponsoring a teaching roundtable session where students and junior faculty members can sit down with distinguished faculty and learn how they have incorporated organization theory and managerial cognition into the undergraduate and MBA elective courses that they teach. Syllabi and other teaching materials will be made available to all interested participants. As always, Sunday will include our Meet the Editors session, where participants will be able to ask questions, again, in a round table format, of editors from all the top journals. For the sake of intimacy we will be maintaining a low faculty/participant ratio. Thus, space in the consortium is limited. Maintaining a low ratio ensures that the Doctoral Consortium provides opportunities to accommodate the increasing diversity of participants' backgrounds, experiences, and desires, and creates plenty of opportunities to ask specific questions of our panelists and facilitators. In addition to conference co-organizers Tim Pollock (Penn State University) and Jenny Rudolph (Harvard Medical School), and their assistant co-organizers Diane Burton (MIT) and Kevin Corley (Arizona State University), the following scholars (listed in alphabetical order) have generously agreed to contribute their time and effort to the development of the OMT-MOC doctoral consortium's participants: Distinguished Panelists Steve Borgatti (University of Kentucky) Roundtable Facilitators Forrest Briscoe (Penn State University)
I am happy to announce that the MOC division will
be offering a three hour workshop for its international members at the
meeting in Elizabeth George
