Welcome to the MOC Research Section. We are currently populating this page with brief bibliographies of literatures of relevance to MOC Scholars.  First, we offer a bibliography of foundational MOC books, edited volumes, and overview articles or special issues.  Second, as an example of an MOC literature we have a “Top 15” bibliography for High Reliability Organizations, Identity, and Sensemaking with more to be added soon.  Please suggest literatures for which you would like to see a “Top 15” bibliography to the MOC Archivist Tim Vogus (timothy.vogus@owen.vanderbilt.edu) or MOC Webmaster Andac Arikan (aarikan@fau.edu).
