The Third IACMR-RRBM Award for Responsible Research in Management

Co-sponsored by The
International Association for Chinese Management Research
and the Community for
Responsible Research in Business and Management

Announcement of Winners and Finalists
March 1, 2020

The purpose of this award was to discover good management scholarship (research articles or research books) published between 2015-2019.  The topics of the nominated work should focus on important issues in business and society, utilizing sound research methods yielding credible results, and exemplifying the RRBM Seven Principles of Responsible Research.

The nominated works underwent a rigorous two stage review process.  First, academic reviewers identified finalists. Second, the finalists were then read and evaluated by a team of executive reviewers with the final decisions based on the joint assessment and recommendation of both the academic and executive reviewers.

We are extremely pleased to honor the seven “Finalists”, eight “Winners” and three “Distinguished Winners” (the list is shown below this announcement.) Each of the winners will receive a certificate of recognition and a cash prize. We thank JD.com’s contribution to IACMR’s Dare to Care Fund for the Award prizes.

This group of papers and books reflect extremely high standards of accomplishment. These projects serve as excellent examples of responsible research that has the potential to inform policies and/or practices, and help to move us toward a better world.

Below is the list of winners for this award, with hyperlinks to the actual paper or book. Please visit this page on the RRBM website to read a brief summary of each work and the review process. We want to express our deepest gratitude to 56 academic reviewers, ten executive reviewers and three research assistants for their dedication and selfless contributions to this Awards program (the list is available here.) We also thank EFMD for its continued support of the project.

Our heart-felt congratulations to the authors of these outstanding research publications.

Sincerely,
