The Professorship for Strategic Management and Leadership will contribute three studies to this year’s Academy of Management Annual Meeting, one of the studies was designated as a “Best Paper”

Prof. Dr. Graf-Vlachy and his co-authors from the University of Passau and the University of Cologne will present three studies at this year’s Academy of Management Annual Meeting. All studies relate to different aspects of managers’ cognition. One study explores how flattery by capital market analysts induces CEOs to disclose potentially more information than intended, and which role narcissism plays in this process. This study was designated a “Best Paper” by the Academy of Management’s Strategy Division. A further study develops a socio-cognitive perspective on digital platform companies and particularly explores their organizational identities. The third study investigates the effect of CEOs’ neuroticism on the speed with which they perform recalls when product defects arise.
