Outstanding doctoral research awards
Outstanding doctoral research awards
As part of Emerald Group Publishing's commitment to supporting excellence in research, we are pleased to announce that the first Annual Outstanding Doctoral Research Awards have been decided. Details about the winners are shown below: 2005 was the first year in which the awards were presented and, due to the success of the initiative, the programme is to be continued in future years. The idea for the awards, which are jointly sponsored by Emerald Group Publishing and the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), came about through exploring how we can encourage, celebrate and reward excellence in international management research. Each winner has received e1,500 and a number have had the opportunity to meet and discuss their research with a relevant journal editor. Increased knowledge-sharing opportunities and the exchange and development of ideas that extend beyond the peer review of the journals have resulted from this process. The awards have specifically encouraged research and publication by new academics: evidence of how their research has impacted upon future study or practice was taken into account when making the award selections and we feel confident that the winners will go on to have further success in their research work.
