Description:

Research over the past 40 years has greatly improved the investigation of strategic decision-making processes of the upper echelons. However, what remains largely unknown within these processes is the interaction between affective states and cognition. In particular, we know little about how these two intertwine

and influence the scale-up from individual to collective strategic decision-making, as well as financial and non-financial performance results.

Hence, the topics this research topic encourages include (but are not limited to):

- Are the business opportunities assessed emotionally as good as the opportunities assessed analytically?

- How do prejudices expand from the individual to the collective level?

- How does artificial intelligence create new perspectives on limited rationality and limited irrationality?

- What kind of psychological or cognitive attributes

Are they more likely to influence executive decisions relating to the performance of non-financial corporations such as corporate social responsibility or sustainability?
