Call for Nominations: 2014 Foundational Paper Award
Dear ENT Division members:
Nominations will be accepted for the 2014 Foundational Paper Award through Monday, March 31. This award is given annually for a paper that has had a lasting and positive influence on the field of entrepreneurship. Please consider nominating one or more papers for the award.
Award criteria
The Foundational Paper Award recognizes a published paper that has significantly and positively changed the conversation in the field of entrepreneurship research. For example, such a paper may have applied a concept or theory in entrepreneurship research in an especially meaningful way, or it may have changed the boundaries of the domain. To be eligible for this award, the author must be living. Generally, too, foundational papers will have been published for at least 10 years (i.e., prior to 2004). A list of past winners can be found at the ENT Division website, at http://division.aom.org/ent/jupgrade/index.php/awards/recent-award-winners.
Re-Nominations
Papers nominated during the prior year (2013) will automatically be considered for the award during the current year (2014) as well. However, papers nominated more than one year prior must be re-nominated to be reconsidered.
Award process & background
The Research Committee of the Entrepreneurship Division will review all nominations and determine awards in accordance with the above criteria. Winners will be announced when the award is presented at the annual meeting of the Academy of Management, which will be held in Philadelphia in August 2014. This award, formerly known as one of the IDEA Awards, continues to be supported by its original sponsors: the University of Connecticut's Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation; The Fisher College of Business at the Ohio State University; the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies & the Journal of Management Studies; and the Academy of Management.
