Judgment is a fundamental concept in management research and relates to several subfields, ranging from human resources (Grandey, Houston & Avery, 2019) and entrepreneurship (Foss & Klein, 2012; Foss, Klein, & Bjørnskov, 2019) to strategic decision-making (Priem, 1994) and business ethics (Mudrack & Mason, 2013). The concept's popularity has resulted in a diversity of understandings and applications – some emphasizing the technical aspects of judgment like precision and accuracy, while others more concerned about judgment as a skillful practice (Tsoukas, Hadjimichael, Nair, Pyrko, & Woolley, 2024). At the same time, judgment is critical for navigating contemporary issues, such as developing leadership traits and character (Crossan, Crossan, Newstead, & Sturm, 2024), evaluating the role of AI in everyday work (Lebovitz, Lifshitz-Assaf, & Levina, 2022), entrepreneurial decision making under conditions of uncertainty and unknowingness (Shepherd, Williams & Patzelt, 2015) and understanding how managers form views and interpret ambiguous evidence in a way that will lead to a good decision (Likierman, 2020) – especially in light of the need to address wicked problems and grand societal challenges (Ackermann, Pyrko, & Hill, 2024). To this end, this symposium aims to focus scholarly attention on the role of judgment in business and management, reflect on its characteristics in a fast-changing world, and discuss the implications and future research directions for judgment as an area of study in business and management research.
