  • STR Named Awards: Call for Pre-Proposals

    STR Named Awards 

    Call for Pre-Proposals

    The Strategic Management (STR) Division requests expressions of interest for the sponsorship of awards named in honor of prominent academics who contributed significantly to the field of strategic management and are no longer active (e.g., retired or deceased). Currently, two annual STR Division awards are available to be named—the STR Outstanding Educator Award (which honors outstanding Ph.D. and MBA/ Executive educators in alternate years) and the STR Best Dissertation Award. Each award is expected to carry an honoree’s name for a period of ten years, and the expected sponsorship for each award is $50,000. These awards were previously sponsored by publishing houses, but the sponsorship agreements have now expired, and the Division Officers believe that named awards would be a better alternative at this time.

    Financial contributions towards such an award may come from multiple sources, such as colleagues, students and the former institution(s) of the honoree. Because the Academy of Management (AOM) does not accept donations from individuals, these financial contributions will need to be collected by the honoree’s former institution and transferred to AOM as a single sponsorship amount. The sponsorship funds will help provide finances for annual expenses related to the award and support important STR division outreach activities that strengthen the field, engage and develop doctoral students and junior scholars, and expand globally to serve more disadvantaged and disconnected members of our field.

    At this time, we are requesting pre-proposals or expressions of interest for each award listed above, which should include the following:

    1.     The name of the proposed honoree, and a brief description (100 words) of why the individual is an appropriate honoree for the award, highlighting their contributions to the strategic management field and the STR Division (formerly BPS Division).

    2.     Separately, please list other awards or recognitions that are named after the nominated individual, whether in the field (at an academic association, journal, etc.), at their associated academic institutions, or more broadly in society.

    3.     The names and contact details of at least two (and no more than four) individuals who will lead the effort to collect the funds in a timely manner (within one year).

    4.     A commitment from the honoree’s (former) institution to accept funds from various sources (in addition to contributing their own, as appropriate), keeping records, and transferring the collected funds to AOM.

    5.     Expressions of financial commitment from individuals and/or institutions to contribute towards the award in the honoree’s name.

    All submitted pre-proposals will be evaluated in confidence. After a positive decision is communicated, the individuals leading the effort and the institution accepting funds on the honoree’s behalf will have a period of one year to complete their efforts and transfer the funds to AOM.

    The deadline for submitting pre-proposals is July 15th. Please email the pre-proposal to STR Division Chair (Deepak Somaya, dsomayaaom@gmail.com) and STR Division Treasurer (Paul Drnevich, pldrnevich@ua.edu).
