SIM is pleased to announce the 2011 Best Dissertation Award Competition. This year's committee will be chaired by Praveen Parboteeah. I've inserted the announcement below as well as attached it to this message. Note that the three finalists for the award will present their dissertations at a session on Sunday during the Academy of Management Meeting, and will have both their abstracts and comments about their experiences in writing exemplary dissertations published in Business & Society.
Apologies for cross-postings.

DOCTORAL DISSERTATION AWARD COMPETITION FOR 2011
Social Issues in Management Division of the Academy of Management
The membership of the Social Issues in Management (SIM) Division of the Academy of Management recognizes completion of doctoral study through the annual Doctoral Dissertation Award competition. This year's award, sponsored by the Beard Center for Leadership in Ethics at Duquesne University, will be announced during a panel session, to be held Sunday August 14, 2011 from 4 to 5 pm in Salon M of the Marriott Rivercenter, at the 2011 Academy of Management conference in San Antonio. During that session, the panel of three award finalists will present their work and discuss their insights for producing exemplary dissertation research. After the conference, both the dissertation abstracts of the three finalists and, as a new feature to be inaugurated this year, the insights of the finalists regarding producing exemplary dissertation research, will be published in a special forum of the journal, Business & Society.
Eligibility. To be eligible for the award, the dissertation must meet 5 requirements: 1) It must have been successfully defended between March 1, 2009 and March 31, 2011; 2) It must be written in the English language; 3) It must focus on some aspect of the relationship between business and society (broadly construed); 4) It must not be submitted to any other Academy division in the same year; and 5) The application must be received by the committee chair on or before April 30, 2011. The primary criteria for selection are as follows:
Domain Relevance
Significance of contribution
Adequacy of literature review
Conceptual development
Methodological appropriateness
Presentation style
Application. To apply for the award, the following materials (3 electronic files) must be received, via email, by the SIM Dissertation Award Committee Chair on or before April 30, 2011:
1) An abstract of not more than 10 double-spaced pages, 1" margins throughout, 12-point Times New Roman font, paginated at the center-bottom of each page, in a single Adobe (.pdf) file, excluding identities of author, university, and advisors;
2) A copy of the signature page, with university name, signatures, and date of defense, in a separate file from the abstract;
3) A title page with the author's current mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and email address, in a separate file from the abstract and signature page.
Finalists will be asked to submit an electronic copy of the complete dissertation by mid-May 2011. Please note that you may submit an award application to only 1 Academy division per year, but your dissertation is eligible for an award for 2 years after completion. Therefore, you may submit your dissertation to SIM 2 years in a row, or you may submit to SIM 1 year and to a different division another year.
