With insincere apologies for the inevitable cross-posting, it is my pleasure to announce the call for applications/nominations for the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation's 2009 Best Dissertation Award and Best Published Paper Award.  Size limits of this list prevent me from attaching the flyers, so below I paste the details.  Should you want a copy of either flyer, please e-mail me.  I look forward to your applications and nominations, and I kindly ask that you please distribute this information broadly, as the Awards are open to all disciplines.

Best,

Mike
