Reminder for TIM Best Dissertation Award: Abstracts due Jan 31st
With apologies for cross-posting, subscribers to this list may be
interested in the reminder for the AoM Technology and Innovation
Management Division’s 2008 Best Dissertation Award, with abstracts due
January 31st.
We accept submissions based on doctoral dissertations completed during
calendar years 2006 and 2007 and take a broad perspective on technology
and innovation, including aspects of the emergence, diffusion, adoption,
commercialization, evolution and consequences of technologies and
innovations.
The award process involves two stages. In the first stage, each applicant
submits a 5-page dissertation abstract (with up to a further 5 pages of
exhibits and 5 pages of references). A committee of experienced scholars
then selects the finalists. In the second stage, each finalist is invited
to submit a 30-page manuscript based upon their dissertation. All
finalists receive extensive feedback from the committee.
The winner will be announced at the 2008 Annual Academy of Management
Meetings in Anaheim, and all finalists will be invited to present their
work at a dedicated session during the conference and will receive a cash
award of $250. Details on the submission process are posted at
http://www.aomtim.org under the 2008 meeting information.
