Management scholars often seek to understand the behavior and performance of groups, firms, markets and countries. Necessarily, yet often implicitly, they make assumptions about individual behavior. Here we propose, discuss — sometimes debate — these assumptions. Why do we do it? In the past, things were simpler: Neoclassical economics provided simple assumptions about human behavior (which can still be found in the management literature). But in recent decades, contradictory evidence accumulated, and 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 seventh 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, and open to any method, we aim to shed light on the links between individual action and collective outcomes for organizations, markets, and society at large.
