The members of the Social Issues in Management (SIM) Division recognize recent doctoral studies work by conducting the annual Social Issues in Management Doctoral Dissertation Award competition. A plaque, along with monetary recognition, will be presented at the business meeting of the SIM Division at the Academy meetings in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Philadelphia</st1:place></st1:city> in August, 2007. To be eligible for this award, a doctoral dissertation must focus on some aspect of the relationship between business and society (broadly construed).

*Relevance
*Originality
*Clarity and lucidness of writing
*Methodological appropriateness
*Contribution to research/practice
*Theoretical relationships
*Written in the English language
Entries for the 2007 award competition must be successfully defended between March 1, 2005 and February 28, 2007 (a 24-month period). Applications for this award must be received by April 1, 2007.
