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.

We'll meet on Saturday, August 8, 2:00–5:30at the Vancouver Convention Centre, room 211. A registration fee, paid to the Academy, covers the cost of the workshop. It has been sold out every year, so register soon. Seating is limited!
