This issue of International Studies of Management & Organization draws from pre - sentations at a March 2005 European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EISAM) European Workshop held in Munich and from a related call for papers. The workshop was the eleventh on the theme of Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC). Since 1993, each has brought together scholars from around the world. Given their location, however, the workshops have helped develop a European perspective on MOC, a subject that became a distinct area of study in the 1970s as a reflection and extension of a new field converging from related research in psychology, information systems, computer science, and other fields.
