Research in Cognition and Strategy: Reflections on Two Decades of Progress and a Look to the Future (2011, neutral): “This followed the advocacy by several managerial cognition scholars to move research beyond purely content issues in order to focus on cognitive processes (Bogner and Barr, 2000; Elsbach et al., 2005; Lant, 2002).”

The Persistence of Flexible Organizational Routines: The Role of Agency and Organizational Context (2005, background): “Some organizations that are highly routinized, like automobile manufacturing plants, can nonetheless respond flexibly to changes (Adler et al. 1999); and others operating in turbulent, hypercompetitive environments, like telecommunications and electronics, still develop shared routines or cognitive ”

Corporate foresight: An emerging field with a rich tradition (2015, background): “This thread of academic discussion has its roots in the environmental scanning literature (Fahey and King, 1977; Godiwalla and Meinhart, 1980) and the literature on managerial cognition (Thomas et al., 1993; Sutcliffe, 1994; Bogner and Barr, 2000).”
The Cognitive Perspective in Strategy: An Integrative Review (2011, methodology): “The SC literature considers sensemaking a pivotal activity in diagnosis (e.g., Bogner & Barr, 2000; George, Chattopadhyay, Sitkin, & Barden, 2006) and portrays it as being characterized by uncertainty, ambiguity, and political tensions (Miller, Burke, & Glick, 1998).”
