Rebecca Karp, one of the winners of this year's Academy of Management William H. Newman Award for Best Paper based on a Dissertation for her work, Gaining Organizational Adoption: Discovering New Uses for Existing Innovations.
“I’m
so
honored.
It
is
an
award
that
has
such
meaning
and
tradition.
I
was
elated.
It
is
great
to
celebrate
positive
recognition.
Not
only
did
I
win
the
award,
but
the
firms
I
studied
also
did
by
being
highlighted.”

what
led
Rebecca's
interest
in
the
evolution
of
healthcare
innovation,
and
how
the
Academy
of
Management
became
the
center
of
information
for
her
from
a
scholarly
and
networking
perspective

Perhaps
the
most
over-used
term
to
describe
2020
has
been
“Black
Swan.”
Mention
Black
Swan
and
most
people
think
of
unanticipated
events
with
significant
and
widespread
consequences.
This
special
issue,
conceived
in
2018,
focuses
attention
on
the
impact
of
world-changing
events
and
the
consequences
for
management
scholarship.
Unexpected
shocks
are
often
the
product
of
past
human
activities
and
active
choices
by
firms.
They
are
not
so
unexpected.
COVID-19,
which
occurred
as
this
issue
was
being
put
to
bed,
has
uncovered
what
we
got
mostly
right
and
wrong
about
the
thinking
on
such
events.
The
special
issue
comprises
nine
papers
on
teaming
in
a
zombie
apocalypse,
organized
violence
in
social
disruptions,
disease
pandemics
and
antibiotic
resistance,
the
refugee
crisis,
and
the
post-COVID-19
world.
