2015 Emerald/CLADEA 

Management Research Fund Award

Emerald Group Publishing in partnership with the Consejo Latinoamericano de Escuela de Administración - CLADEA is promoting the 2015 Emerald/CLADEA Management Research Fund Award.

The aim is to encourage the development of research projects in Business, Management & Administration.

The prize

The best research project proposal will receive USD$3,000.

Research project proposal guidelines

The research project proposal must be focused on aspects of management within the Latin American and/or Caribbean regions and include the following:

• Covering letter - including institution/affiliation, address, telephone number and/or e-mail of all the researchers involved in the project proposal
• Summary stating specific goals, outcomes and benefits of the research
• Proposal and research purposes
• The theoretical framework and the methodology to be used and a clear description of the research stages
• Expected impact and results and possible applications
• Schedule

• Maximum of 2,000 words - tables notes, figures, appendices and references, if included, will not be included in the word count
• Project proposals may be submitted in English, Spanish or Portuguese but the abstract and keywords must be written in English.

As the proposals will be evaluated through a blind-review process, you must NOT include the name of the author (s) or of the institution in any part of the project proposal, under penalty of exclusion. This information should be included ONLY in the covering letter.

Eligibility

• A project proposal must be submitted by one author or by one research group affiliated to at least one institution based in Latin America or the Caribbean
• The main author must have Latin American or Caribbean nationality
• Each author or research group may submit ONLY one project proposal

Project proposals that do not meet one or more of these requirements will be automatically excluded from the selection process.
