Organizational Cognition: Computation and Interpretation is a collection of chapters written by scholars from around the world. The editors outline the history of two approaches to the study of cognition in organizations, the computational approach and the interpretive approach. The chapters represent some of the most cutting-edge research at many different level of analysis. Much of the work in this book demonstrates how computational and interpretive approaches can be combined in a way that provides greater insight into cognitive processes in and among organizations. The editors conclude by elaborating on the likely boundary conditions of each approach and how they can be combined for a more complete understanding of organizational cognition.
