Symposium Summary

This panel symposium will explore new models for incorporating conflict, contestation, and coalitions in Behavioral Theory of the Firm (BTOF) and their implications for organization and management theory. In particular, our distinguished group of panelists will be charged with: 1) discussing the robustness and reliability of BTOF models of decision making; 2) how we might integrate missing pillars of BTOF into new models (such as conflict, contestation and coalitions); 3) and how we should further elaborate these models with new settings, samples and techniques.

A moderated discussion among the panelists will further explore these ideas and address audience generated questions.

Send in your questions for our panelists

To generate a more meaningful panel discussion we are soliciting questions from prospective attendees. These questions will serve as the basis for our moderated panel discussion.
