    Dear ENT members:

    Nominations are being accepted for the 2022 Foundational Paper Award. 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 paper(s) 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 empirically investigated an important question in a novel way to better clarify or reveal the truth regarding a key concept; or in any way changed the boundaries of the domain of entrepreneurship. 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 2012). A list of past winners can be found on the ENT Division website, at Foundational Paper Award.  

    Re-Nominations

    Papers nominated during the prior year (2021) will automatically be considered for the award during the current year (2022) 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 in August at the annual meeting of the Academy of Management in Seattle.

    How to nominate a paper:

    Send an email to Sophie Bacq, Chair of the Awards Committee at bacqs@iu.edu. The due date for all submissions is May 23, 2022. For full consideration, the email should include the following information:
