managerial and organizational cognition  

Definition

  • Managerial and organizational cognition (MOC) is an emerging interdisciplinary subfield of management and organization studies concerned with the processes through which actors acquire, interpret, store, retrieve, disseminate, and respond to information in order to make decisions and solve problems. Drawing on theory and research from a variety of interrelated fields, especially cognitive, social, and organizational psychology, MOC scholars are advancing our understanding of fundamental processes and mechanisms that help explain how organizations attempt to adapt to their material and social environments.
