Dear Colleague,
You are kindly invited to take part in the Symposium ""Psychological Heuristics and Biases in Management"," that will be convened at the 2016 Academy of Management Meeting in Anaheim, CA, Monday, August 8, 2016, from 8:00am to 9:30am, at the Hilton Hotel Anaheim in Lido B.
This symposium aims to advance the existing debate on how psychological heuristics and biases of strategic and entrepreneurial leadership affect (positively or negatively) the firm?s strategy-making processes and performance. The symposium brings together a panel of outstanding scholars who jointly explore the following questions: What is the impact of executive core self-evaluation on firm performance? Are the effects of psychological heuristics and biases of leadership different in short term and long run? How do different organizational and environmental settings change extant relationships? What are the executives? psychological heuristics that shape their job satisfaction and, in turn, affect organizational choices and performance? What is the role that leader traits play in the relationship between leaders? capabilities and firm performance? Exploring these questions is highly relevant to identify the key drivers of strategic and entrepreneurial decision and judgment processes.
