Call for Nominations:
2019 INTERNATIONAL IMPACTFUL COLLABORATION AWARD
Practice Theme Committee & International Theme Committee
Academy of Management
Call available at: https://www.tinyurl.com/2019PTC-ITC
The Practice Theme Committee (PTC) and the International Theme Committee (ITC) of the Academy of Management invite nominations, including self-nominations, for the International Impactful Collaboration Award. This competitive award seeks to recognize and to celebrate international collaborations between academics and external stakeholders that have achieved demonstrable, external impact. The award advances the aims of both all-Academy committees: The PTC aims to identify exemplar initiatives that bridge theory and practice, and to create platforms for ongoing engagement with practitioners for relevant, applicable knowledge; the ITC aims to improve AOM members’ understandings of internationalization of business, trade and other organizational transactions, and to encourage exposure for organizational scholarship conducted outside the United States of America.
I. Brief Description:
The award will be given to an impactful research collaboration (e.g., journal articles, books, consulting reports, conferences, major research grants, regulatory change) done over the previous 5 years (from 2014) involving diverse audiences not just Management academics (e.g., also involving consultants, managers, policymakers, NGOs, labor, or society at large) as full partners. The necessary conditions include that the collaboration
1.) must be international – i.e., involving more than 1 country,
2.) must be demonstrably impactful covering more than A+ journal articles and scholarly citations,
3.) include as full participants more than Management academics.
4.) provide some evidence of external impact such as knowledge creation, outreach, beneficiaries, international networks/ visibility, and media coverage.
A complete list of the potential audiences/collaborators for research, and avenues for scholarly impact are identified in the 2017 AOM report Measuring and Achieving Scholarly Impact (Tables 3 and 4).
