The Second IACMR-RRBM Award for Responsible Research in Management

“With Executive Input in Selecting the Winners”

 

Co-Sponsored by the the International Association for Chinese Management Research

and the Community for Responsible Research in Business and Management

 

Announcement of Winners and Finalists

March 12, 2019

 

The IACMR-RRBM 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). (Please click here for the initial Call for Nominations.)

 

We received nominations for 90 articles and 16 books. A committee of 46 highly accomplished scholars reviewed these 106 nominations, judging each work on its credibility and the usefulness criteria as specified in the seven principles of responsible research. A total of 18 articles and five books were judged to be strong on both criteria. This list then received a second review by a committee of ten 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.

 

We are extremely pleased to honor the eight “Finalists”, 12 “Winners” and three “Distinguished Winners.”  While all the nominated articles and books are outstanding, the review committees felt the selected studies best exemplify the principles of responsible research: contributing credible evidence and striving for broad and significant societal benefits.

 

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. We thank JD.com’s contribution to IACMR’s Dare To Care Fund for the Award prizes.

 

We want to thank the 51 reviewers, five chairs, and three research assistants for their dedication and selfless contributions to the IACMR-RRMB Award. (The list is available here). We would also like to warmly thank EFMD for their continued support of the project.

 

The Awards ceremony will be held on August 11, 2019 in Boston at the IACMR/RRBM joint session. Congratulations to the authors of these outstanding research projects that contribute credible knowledge with implications for practice and policy. These publications help move us towards a better world.

 

Sincerely,
