This award is granted annually to the book judged to have made the most outstanding contribution to the advancement of management knowledge, and published during the past two years (i.e. 2006 or 2007).  Books that contribute to the advancement of management theory, conceptualization, research, or practice are eligible.  Books intended or primarily used as text books are not eligible for this award. 

The nomination process consists of sending copies of the book to the Chair and members of the Award Committee.  Nominations are normally submitted by publishers.  If members wish to nominate a book, it is their responsibility to contact the publisher and ask them to complete the nomination process. 

The recipient will be recognized at the Academy’s 2008 meeting, and is expected to accept the award in person.

Copies of each nominated book must be received by members of the Award Committee.  Please send an email message to the Chair, Denise Rousseau, after December 3, 2007 requesting the addresses of committee members.
