2017 Publication Awards
Each year during the Annual Meeting, the Academy of Management recognizes authors of journal articles that were published in the previous year in each of the Academy's six journals. The selection process for the award committee for each journal is determined by the individual journal. In general, articles selected:
- Advance the mission of the individual publication;
- Bring forth core ideas that are original, important, and provocative;
- Have a clear and important contribution to the field of management
Editors create a separate advisory committee to determine and select the article(s) from the prior year as the "Best Article."
Academy of Management Discoveries
AMD Best Article Award Committee: Jean Bartunek, Donald C. Hambrick, Sara Rynes, and Mary Waller
The mission of the Academy of Management Discoveries is to promote phenomenon-driven empirical research that our theories of management and organizations neither adequately predict nor explain. Data on these poorly understood phenomena can come from any source, including ethnographic observations, lab and field experiments, field surveys, meta-analyses, and replication studies. AMD welcomes exploratory studies at the pre-theory stage of knowledge development, where it is premature to specify hypotheses. This research must be grounded in rigorous state-of-the-art methods, present strong and persuasive evidence, and offer interesting and important implications for management theory and practice.
