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 settingschange
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.
