4. The Second IACMR-RRBM Award for Responsible Research in Management
The IACMR-RRMB award recognizes excellent scholarship that focuses on important issues for business and society using sound research methods with credible results. Publications should exemplify the seven principles of responsible research and must have been published in the last five years (2014-2018).
Since the Call for Nominations was released in November 2018, the Academic and Executive Review Committees of the Award received nominations of 90 articles and 16 books. The committee of 41 accomplished scholars reviewed these nominations, judging each work on its credibility and the usefulness as specified in the seven principles of responsible research. Eighteen articles and five books were judged to be strong on both criteria. This list then received a second review by a committee of ten business executives (most of whom were doctoral graduates) on the usefulness criterion. Then, the Chairs of the Academic and Executive Review Committees discussed the final evaluations and selected the winners: eight “Finalists”, twelve “Winners” and three “Distinguished Winners.”
The award winners of the Second IACMR-RRBM Award were publicized on March 12. Each of the 12 Winners will receive a cash prize of U.S. $500. Each of the three Distinguished Winners will receive a cash prize of U.S. $2,000. The Awards ceremony will be held on August 11, 2019 in Boston at the IACMR/RRBM joint session.
