CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 2012 CAREER SERVICE AWARDS
Dear ENT Listserv subscribers:
Nominations are being accepted for the 2012 Career Service Awards sponsored by the Entrepreneurship Division of the Academy of Management. The Division's Career Service Awards are meant to recognize a small number of individuals and organizations each year who have made extraordinary, long-term contributions that advance the mission and interests of the Division. Please consider submitting a nomination for the Mentor Award:
THE MENTOR AWARD
Given to an individual who has provided exceptional mentoring in entrepreneurship education.
This award recognizes exceptional mentoring activities at all educational levels in the field of entrepreneurship. The field of entrepreneurship includes, but is not limited to, the areas of individual entrepreneurship, corporate intrapreneurship, new venture formation, small business management, and family business. Previous winners are listed at the end of this email message.
Selection criteria for the Mentor Award
In order of importance, the Award seeks to honor:
i. Mentoring In Doctoral or Post-Doctoral Education in Entrepreneurship
Given the lack of full-time Ph.D. programs in the field, the future development and growth of the field is exceedingly dependent on the ad hoc efforts of interested graduate educators. Such individuals help identify promising doctoral students and post-doctoral candidates, interest them in the field, nurture their development in research and professional roles, and provide moral, social, and intellectual support to new entrants to the field in the early stages of their careers.
ii. Mentoring Activities in MBA and Undergraduate Education in Entrepreneurship
Although the principal purpose of the Award is to honor doctoral and post-doctoral mentoring activities, not every potential mentor has the opportunity to do this. Therefore, individuals with truly exceptional records mentoring MBA, undergraduate, or other non-doctoral entrants to the field over sustained periods may also be considered as candidates for the Award.
Candidates for the Award will be evaluated according to the relative degree to which they have, throughout their careers, engaged in the mentoring activities described above. Primary consideration will be given to mentoring at the doctoral and post-doctoral levels. This Award is not meant to recognize research productivity, advocacy activities in the field, personal longevity in the field, or other non-mentoring types of service in professional organizations of the field. People who have made non-mentoring contributions may be eligible for the Dedication to Entrepreneurship Award instead.
Selection process
Nominations for the award will be reviewed in accordance with the above criteria by a special committee convened by the Past Chair of the Entrepreneurship Division of the Academy of Management. Winners will be announced in May and will be presented with a plaque in August at the annual meeting of the Academy of Management in Boston. As in all award categories, the Division reserves the right to not confer an award if adjudicators determine that no award is warranted in a given year. Nominations received in a given year that do not result in an award will automatically be considered for an award during the following year's review cycle as well. However, nominations that do not result in an award for two consecutive years must be re-nominated to be considered further. Such re-nominations are welcome, provided they are accompanied by up-to-date documentation.
How to nominate someone for the Mentor Award:
To nominate an individual for the Mentor Award, a complete packet of supporting documentation should be submitted to Prof. Per Davidsson, Past Chair of the Entrepreneurship Division, no later than April 10, 2012. The complete packet will include:
