Describing management cognition: The cause mapping approach

Author

  • Laukkanen, Mauri

Abstract

In management and organization studies, models based on cognitive constructs and processes are increasingly frequent. This means that new methods are needed, and in particular approaches that facilitate comparative designs and more testable argumentation and findings. The paper outlines the cognitively oriented tradition and discusses the related methodological issues in terms of cognitive representation. Cause mapping is suggested as an option for describing and comparing management cognitions that possesses some advantages over the conventional text alternative. Potential applications for pragmatic and research uses are suggested.
