Award Criteria
The Award will be granted to individuals who have authored a publication (for example, a published book or article) deemed to have been especially effective at advancing the practice of entrepreneurship, and are members of the Academy of Management (AOM). Where there are multiple authors at least one must be a member of AOM. The criteria include, but are not be limited to, the quality of journal, evidence of impact on publications (including citations in both scholarly and main stream publications and media), impact on the legislative process (local or federal), and influence on entrepreneurship practice in the field.

The nomination should be contained in a PDF or MS Doc file and include the following information:
- The name of the publication nominated and author(s) of the publication, along with source details (e.g., journal or publisher name) as appropriate. Digital access to the publication is important for review purposes.
- An explanation of why/how the publication fulfills the award criteria (limited to 500 words maximum).

- Self-nominations are acceptable, as are nominations from members of the AOM community – a nominee does not need to be a member of the ENT division, but should be a member of AOM.
Award Process and Background
A special committee convened by the Chair of the Entrepreneur Practitioner-Scholar Committee of the Entrepreneurship Division will review all nominations and determine awards in accordance with the above criteria.
