Abstract
Call for papers: Special issue of<i>Strategic Organization</i>: Research Frontiers on the Attention-Based View of the Firm
Highlights
The second principle that attention is situated has been principally examined in terms of contextual factors shaping organizational attention writ large (Chen and Miller, 2007; Piezunka and Dahlander, 2015; Sullivan, 2010), but less emphasis has been directed at how attention is situated in the organization’s communication channels
The scope of the special issue is broad, but we identify five topics where new research is needed, while encouraging other important research questions not explicitly identified here
At the individual level of analysis, three types of attention have been identified through various techniques, including selective attention, attentional vigilance, and executive attention (Ocasio, 2011: 1287)
Summary
Call for papers: Special issue of Strategic Organization: Research Frontiers on the Attention-Based View of the Firm. The first principle of ABV (Ocasio, 1997) that decision-makers’ selective focus of attention directly influences strategic behavior and outcomes in organizations is well established empirically, important questions remain regarding varieties and dimensions of attention. While attention was originally defined in ABV as noticing, encoding, interpreting, and focusing of time and effort on both environmental and organizational stimuli as well as action alternatives (Ocasio, 1997: 189), subsequent work has identified a multiplicity of additional dimensions of attention This includes research drawing a distinctions between attentional orientation, attentional vigilance, and attentional control (or executive attention; Ocasio, 2011), the quality versus the quantity of organizational attention (Weick and Sutcliffe, 2006), the interaction of bottom-up and top-down attentional processes (Laureiro-Martinez, 2014; Shepherd et al, 2017), and attentional breadth versus depth (Eklund and Mannor, 2020).
