We know there is overlap between members of the TIM and the BPS division
(such as ourselves) and wanted to make sure recent PhD.s in BPS who study
technology are aware of this.

Call for 2006 TIM Best Dissertation Award
Submission Deadline: March 16, 2006
Dissertation Award Co-Chairs: Paul Olk and Xavier Martin
The Technology and Innovation Management Division of the Academy of
Management is pleased to invite submissions for the 2006 TIM Best
Dissertation Award. For this highly prestigious award, we will consider
submissions for dissertations completed during calendar years 2004 and
2005. We take a broad perspective on technology and innovation and
welcome dissertations from different disciplinary perspectives including
management (strategy, organization theory, organizational behavior etc.)
as well as economics, technology studies, sociology etc. After all,
technology pervades everything we do and cuts across disciplinary
boundaries. We are also happy to consider a range of alternative
methodologies to the study of the emergence, diffusion, adoption and
commercialization of technologies and innovations.
The award process involves two stages. The first consists of each
applicant submitting a 5-page dissertation abstract (the details are
below). These are refereed by a panel who select the finalists. The
second stage entails the finalists being invited to each submit a 30-page
manuscript based upon the dissertation. The panel then reviews these
manuscripts and selects the best dissertation, which will be awarded at
the Annual Academy of Management Meetings in Atlanta.
