With apologies for cross-posting, members of this list may be interested in the reminder for the TIM Best Dissertation Award, with an upcoming deadline of January 31, 2007.
The Technology and Innovation Management Division of the Academy of Management invites submissions for the 2007 TIM Best Dissertation Award. We will consider submissions for doctoral dissertations completed during calendar years 2005 and 2006.
We take a broad perspective on technology and innovation, including all aspects of the emergence, diffusion, adoption, commercialization, evolution and performance/welfare consequences of technologies and innovations. The TIM division welcomes and supports international and comparative research within its domain.
The award process involves two stages. In the first stage, each applicant submits a 5-page dissertation abstract by January 31. A panel of experienced researchers then selects the finalists. In the second stage, each finalist is invited to submit a 30-page manuscript based upon his/her dissertation. The panel reviews these manuscripts, provides feedback, and selects the best dissertation which will be awarded at the Annual Academy of Management Meetings in Philadelphia. Details on the submission process are posted at
http://www.aomtim.org with the 2007 meeting information.
