Dear colleague,

We are pleased to announce that the platform for nominating the Best Book of the Year is open.

The Award is granted annually to a scholarly authored book in the general field of management studies (single or multiple authored). Only scholarly books/monographs (not edited books or textbooks) may be nominated. The language of the book should be English. Date of publication must be the last year before the annual conference (for 2024: books with 2023 as year of publication). All fields of management are included. The Award is accompanied with a cash prize of € 2,500.

A nomination for a book can be made either by a Strategic Interest Group (SIG), or by any individual, including self-nominations online. There is no formal nomination form, but the nomination document should be no longer than 600 words (plus a short cover letter).

Upon submission, you may upload an e-book. EURAM head office will contact you prior to review to let you know where to send three copies of your book.

At least one of the authors of the book should be a current member of EURAM in order to be nominated for the Award (contact luisa.jaffe@euram.academy for queries about membership status).

 

To submit by 30 January 2024 follow this link: https://www.xcdsystem.com/eiasm/abstract/index.cfm?ID=HnfV5J4

6th Edition of the EURAM Edith Penrose Award for Trailblazing Researchers Sponsored by INSEAD

Deadline: 10 April 2024

$abstract

Read more

Dear LUISA,

We are pleased to call for (self-)nominations for the EURAM Edith Penrose Award sponsored by INSEAD. The deadline to apply is 10 April 2024.

To be trailblazing a scholar will demonstrate how they have challenged established wisdom and have been the first to propose a new, alternative or complementary view of it: i.e., they have blazed a new trail (as did Penrose in 1959).

In no more than 250 words they will demonstrate why their work should be considered a trailblazing contribution in a specific field on enquiry that falls under the auspices of EURAM.

In addition, they should nominate a referee that the committee might consult in the process of determining the Award.

The Award will reflect EURAM's emphasis on multidisciplinary theoretical perspectives and methodological pluralism as well as critical examinations of the historical and philosophical roots of management theory and praxis and also the values of rigor and relevance for creating impactful knowledge to which both EURAM and INSEAD adhere.

The Award value is €5,000, generously provided by INSEAD.

How to apply

The applications can be either self-candidatures or nominations of other researchers judged to deserve it. Each applicant can make multiple nominations, provided that one nomination letter is submitted for each nominee.

The nomination letter should provide an argumentation for why the nominee/s (or applicant) should be considered a trailblazer in a given management research area, including the references for the publication/s which substantiate such claim. The letter should not be longer than 250 words. In addition, they should nominate a referee that the committee might consult in the process of determining the Award.

The winner should be either a current member of EURAM or become a member in order to accept the Award (please contact luisa.jaffe@euram.academy for queries about membership status).

Applications should be submitted online by 10 April 2024. A designated committee will choose the winner(s), based on the criteria of originality, rigor, relevance and impactfulness mentioned above.

To apply, click here.

The Edith Penrose Award was given to: 

2019: Jay Barney, University of Utah

2020: Stewart Clegg, University of Technology Sydney

2021: Amy Whitaker, University of New York

2022: Giovanni Dosi, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa 
          Anna  Grandori, Bocconi University

2023: Barbara Czarniawska, University of Gothenburg

 

 

The winner(s) will be announced at the EURAM 2024 Conference in Bath in June 2024.

 

Best wishes,

Hervé Dumez, Vice President Research

 

 

 

Bio of Edith Penrose

Edith (Elura Tilton) Penrose (1914–1996) was a USA-born British citizen who spent significant time of her academic career in Europe, first at the London School of Economics and later becoming the first woman faculty in INSEAD who also served as Dean for Faculty. She published several articles and books, some of which became seminal in the management field, such as her 1952 article challenging the biological or evolutionary analogy of the firm and her book titled ‘The Theory of the Growth of the Firm’ first published in 1959 in which she challenged the then dominant (economics’) view of the optimal size of the firm: firms continue to grow because their managers identify in firms’ resources potential of  generating new services and serving a market need. That is why Penrose is considered the forerunner of the resource-based view of the firm.
