Cognitive maps are mental representations that allow individuals to process and organize information about their environment. Managers often interpret events in ways that align with their existing beliefs, using cognitive maps to filter and make sense of new information. This tendency can lead to biases in decision-making, as managers may overlook or discount information that contradicts their preconceived notions.
