17th 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 17th annual "COGNITION IN THE ROUGH" workshop to be held at the Academy of Management conference in Philadelphia, PA this August.
The Cognition in the Rough workshop (CIR) provides an excellent opportunity to discuss your research in an informal, collegial roundtable setting. CIR is intended to help scholars develop a research paper. Each roundtable will have 2-3 facilitators to give feedback on 2-3 early-stage research papers, allowing plenty of time for discussion. Regardless of whether you are a senior or a 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 have agreed to participate facilitators: Neal Ashkanasy, Andrea Casey, Dov Eden, Janet Dukerich, C. Marlena Fiol, Elizabeth George, Margaret Gorman, Tor Hernes, Gerard Hodgkinson, George Huber, Lynn Isabella, Glen Kreiner, Kyle Lewis, Luis Martins, Steve Mezias, Chet Miller, Frances Milliken, Sucheta Nadkarni, Kathleen Sutcliffe, Subra Tangirala, and Dave Whetten
Sponsored by the Managerial and Organizational Cognition Division at the annual Academy of Management Meeting, the workshop is scheduled for Saturday morning, August 2nd and will end in a shared lunch with Diamonds in the Rough, a new MOC division PDW which focuses on the development of the scholar.
KEY DATES:
Open for submission – APRIL 1, 2014; close date – MAY 15, 2014
Send submissions to: cirpdw@gmail.com
Acceptance notices will be sent out after JUNE 15, 2014
We look forward to seeing you in Philadelphia!
The organizers of this workshop are:
Michelle Barton, Boston University School of Management
Marlys Christianson, University of Toronto Rotman School of Management
Christopher Myers, University of Michigan Ross School of Business

17th ANNUAL "COGNITION IN THE ROUGH" PDW WORKSHOP
Information on past CIR workshops can be found at http://division.aomonline.org/moc/CIR%20homepage.htm
WHO: This roundtable workshop is open to junior and senior scholars who are doing research related to managerial and organizational cognition. Pre-registration for the PDW is required and space is limited.
Submissions will be evaluated to ensure fit with the session and priority will be given to early submissions and first-time attendees. Given space constraints, the expectation for this PDW is that, even for co-authored papers with multiple authors, one author will attend the PDW to represent the paper. This PDW is intended to help authors develop work in progress and, as a result, we cannot accept papers that have already been accepted for presentation elsewhere at the AOM 2014 Annual Meeting.
WHAT: Your submission should include the following four sections:
I. Title page: On the title page, in addition to the paper's title and the names and affiliations of the authors, please also indicate whether each author is a doctoral student or faculty member.
II. Brief abstract (not to exceed 150 words) and four keywords (selected from the following list). Please rank the four keywords you select in order of importance (1=most important).
