Orientation and Award Information
Any one of the appropriate “orientation” or “awards” categories below can be selected for each submission:
• Teaching
• Practice
• International
• Newman Award Nominee
• Dexter Award Nominee
• Theme: Creating Actionable KnowledgeA. Teaching
If this submission is accepted, should it be identified as a teaching paper in the printed program? Each year we highlight the papers and symposia in the program that have a specific teaching orientation. Although any paper/symposia could potentially have teaching application, we are looking for those that focus on the process of teaching in general or on the teaching of a specific topic. Does your submission explicitly focus on the process of teaching in general, or on the teaching of a specific topic? Does it talk, for example, about how the material you’re addressing would be taught? If yes, then check that your submission has a teaching orientation. Whether a submission has explicit implications for teaching has no impact at all on whether it will be accepted. However, if indicated (and the submission is accepted), there will be a small icon indicating a teaching orientation next to it in the program.
B. Practice
If this submission is accepted, should it be identified as having specific implications for management practice in the printed program? We are highlighting the papers and symposia in the program that have specific implications for management practice. Although any paper/symposium could potentially have implications for management practice, we are looking for those that explicitly suggest such implications in a more central way than simply a paragraph or two at the end of the paper. Does your submission explicitly focus on managerial practice? Does it explicitly focus on the impact of your paper on managerial practice? If yes, mark the submission as such; if not, do not. Whether a submission has explicit implications for managerial practice has no impact at all on whether it will be accepted. However, if indicated and the submission is accepted, there will be a small icon next to it indicating a managerial practice orientation in the program.
C. International
If this submission is accepted, should it be identified as having specific implications for international management? We are highlighting the papers and symposia in the program that have specific implications for international management. Although any paper/symposium could potentially have international implications, we are looking for those where international considerations are a central theme of the submission. Does you submission explicitly focus on the international aspects of management and organizations? Does it clearly address the impact of your submission on international management? If yes, then check that your submission has an international orientation. Whether a submission has explicit implications for international management has no impact at all on whether it will be accepted. If indicated and the submission is accepted, however, there will be a small icon next to it in the program indicating an international orientation.
