"We are not claiming that the reconciliation between cross-disciplinary fertilization and specialization is an issue for organizational research only, when it is probably one of the current challenges of many disciplines in the social sciences. Instead, we are suggesting that it is particularly relevant to organizational research, given its multidisciplinary core. Although there is no easy way to deal with this challenge, we believe that technological innovation and methodological developments may be of some help. Agent-based modeling (ABM) and simulation can be brought in to reconcile these two directions."

My new monograph Computational Organizational Cognition was published in 2021 by Emerald. In that book, I outline a theory of social organizing drawing on EDEC – embodied, distributed and extended cognition – perspectives. In so doing, I demonstrate how agent-based computational simulation modeling could be used to address theoretical challenges in organizational cognition.
