Include a brief note explaining your reasons for nomination and either attach the nominee's CV or include a URL link. Self-nominations are welcome. Nominations for both awards will be accepted until January 13, 2007. The winners of both will be selected by a BPS awards committee.

2017 BPS EMERGING SCHOLAR AWARD

The recipient will be a promising scholar who has established a research record of exceptional quality. The recipient will have a solid publication record and his/her scholarly contributions will already demonstrate an impact on the field of strategic management. Candidates will be judged by the relevance, academic contribution, theoretical and methodological rigor, and practical implications of their work.

Who is eligible: Scholars who received their PhD or doctorate degree within 6 years prior to the award year (so for eligibility in 2017, the candidate's final dissertation defense date must have occurred after January 2011) and who is a BPS member.  The BPS Emerging Scholar Award is given every other year, in odd-numbered years.

2017 BPS DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD

The recipient will be a BPS member with at least 15 years of service to the field, who has made significant contributions to activities within the BPS Division, the Academy of Management, and/or to the broader field of strategic management. Award criteria may include editorial contributions at journals or of edited volumes of strategy research, significant contributions to the Academy of Management, conference organizing, administrative roles, or textbook authorship. Those who have served as BPS officers are ineligible until at least five years after their term ends.  The BPS Distinguished Service Award is given every other year, in odd-numbered years.
