Call for 2011 TIM Best Dissertation Award
Abstract Submission Deadline: February 15, 2011

THE TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION MANAGEMENT DIVISION of the Academy of Management is pleased to invite submissions for the 2011 TIM Best Dissertation Award.

We will accept submissions based on doctoral dissertations completed during calendar years 2009 and 2010.

We take a broad perspective on technology and innovation including aspects of the emergence, diffusion, adoption, commercialization, evolution and consequences of technologies and innovations.

The TIM Division's domain statement can be found at http://www.aomtim.org/.

As per the domain statement, we welcome dissertations from different disciplinary perspectives including management (strategy, organization theory, organizational behavior etc.) as well as economics, technology studies, sociology, etc. We are also happy to consider a broad range of methodologies.

The award process involves two stages.

In the first stage, each applicant submits a 5-page dissertation abstract (see details below) along with supporting references and figures. A committee of experienced scholars then selects the finalists.

In the second stage, finalists are invited to submit a 30-page manuscript based upon their dissertation. The committee reviews these manuscripts, provides feedback, and selects the best dissertation, which will be announced at the 2011 Annual Academy of Management Meeting in San Antonio.

Finalists will be invited to present their work at a dedicated session during the conference and will receive a reward. The session will afford high visibility to the finalists' dissertations.

Submission Requirements:

The consortium will feature outstanding senior faculty members with a proven record of research and teaching. The consortium will provide participants with the opportunity for reflection and renewal, for networking with friends and colleagues, and for meeting new peers and senior colleagues with shared interests. Applicants must have at least one full year of experience as an assistant professor (or equivalent) in a post-Ph.D. academic institution and no more than three years experience by August 2011.

To apply, please email your vita to Corey Phelps at phelps@hec.fr. When you apply, please indicate the month and year you started your first assistant professor position (or equivalent). We will take applications on a rolling basis until May 15, 2011. We encourage you to apply early and please note that we require accepted applicants to attend the entire consortium.

In preparation for this year's 2011 AOM TIM junior faculty consortium, which Keld Laursen from CBS and I are organizing, I am putting together a list of competitive research funding sources from around the world for TIM research. If you know of such sources, such as the U.S. National Science Foundation Innovation and Organizational Science program, please let me know. Ideally, we want to develop a list of such programs from the major regions of the world with relevant contact information. If you have suggestions on such sources, please forward them to me. I will compile a summary for the list. Thanks in advance.

Best,

Corey
