The IfSTO would like to cordially invite you to the upcoming research talk by

Professor Markus Becker (University of Southern Denmark)

Topic:The Consequences of Appropriateness: An Empirical Study of Decision-Making According to the Logic of Appropriateness
(with Daniel Newark, University of Southern Denmark) 

Abstract (short):
For scholars of organizations, the Logic of Appropriateness has long been of theoretical interest and widely used as an alternative framework to the Logic of Consequence for understanding observed behavior. However, the Logic of Appropriateness has rarely been the subject of empirical examination, nor have the Logic of Appropriateness and the Logic of Consequence been directly compared in empirical work. The paper reports an empirical test of the effects of basing action on the Logic of Appropriateness. We discuss the implications of the results for our understanding of the Logic of Appropriateness and key organizational processes driving organizational action.

Time:  Thursday, March 10^th,  2016, from 12:00 pm until 1:30 pm
Location: : The talk will take at Seminar room TC.4.18 (Teaching Center, 4th floor) at Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna
