Call for papers 2023
Deadline March 24th, 2023
To be eligible for the ISOI Research Award, the published journal article or book must reflect and further ISOI’s mission, have been authored or co-authored by a UIUC faculty member and published within the last five years (2018-2022).
The author(s) do not need to be members of the Gies College faculty, and we encourage nominations from other campus units (e.g., Communication, Economics, Education, Engineering, Labor and Employment Relations, and Sociology).
We welcome works that advance a theory as well as empirical studies using qualitative and/or quantitative methods. ISOI directors will screen nominated works and distribute them to internal reviewers with expertise in the topic area.
A committee composed of ISOI Scholars will read all finalist works and choose the award recipient.
The evaluation criteria include
- the importance of the contribution to advancing research on strategic organizations;
- originality, creativity, and innovativeness;
- research quality and rigor, and
- impact on global scholarly communities.
Preference will be given to works that are first-authored, single-authored, or are directly associated with the author’s research agenda. The ISOI Award recipient will receive a check for $5000 and formal recognition from ISOI. The recipient will also be invited to give an ISOI-sponsored talk on the award paper. The due date for submission is March 24th and the ISOI award recipient will be notified by May 5th. The recognition ceremony and research presentation will be scheduled early in the Fall semester of 2023.
