Behavioral Strategy VI

Micro, Macro, and In-Between


Management scholars often seek to understand the performance of
groups, firms, markets, countries, and other phenomena at the
macro-meso level. Necessarily, yet often implicitly, scholars make
behavioral assumptions.
Here we propose, discuss and sometimes debate these
assumptions. Why do we do it? In the past, things were simpler:
Neoclassical economics provided ubiquitous beliefs about humans
and their behavior, and these can still be found in the management
literature.
But in recent decades, as contradictory evidence accumulated,
researchers have been endeavoring to offer alternatives. Can we
develop theories about behavior in organizations and markets that
are realistic, parsimonious, and generalizable?
The workshop, returning for the sixth consecutive year, brings
together an interdisciplinary group of scholars whose research
benefits the growing area of behavioral strategy. We have hosted
strategy scholars, organizational theorists, psychologists, sociologists,
economists, decision scientists, theoretical biologists, political and
computer scientists.
Working in tandem, we shed light on the links between individual
action and collective outcomes for organizations, markets, and
society at large.
