On behalf of the Australia and New Zealand Academy of Management (ANZAM), I would like to invite eligible candidates to submit their proposal for the award of "ANZAM Best Research Dissertation Proposal."
------------------------------------
Application Process
To be eligible, students must be in the first two years (full-time equivalent) of their PhD program (Doctor by research) by November 1, 2010 and not have previously submitted their proposal to this competition. We encourage all eligible doctoral students who are studying topics related to the field of management to apply.
Dissertation proposals will be judged based on soundness of theory, methodological rigor, and potential contribution to the field of management. Following the ANZAM intent, the outstanding proposal will show the courage of using new or unusual ways to advance the management discipline. These criteria are included in the judging process.
Four finalists will be invited to present their dissertation proposals at the ANZAM Conference to be held from December 8-10, 2010 in Adelaide, Australia, prior to this year's Doctoral Workshop. During the presentation, finalists will have the chance to present their proposal to a panel of respected scholars who will act as final judges for the competition. The Workshop also provides a good opportunity to interact with future colleagues, and will be open to all Conference attendees. At the Workshop, the judges will award a first prize (AUD$1,000), a runner-up Certificate, and Finalist Certificates.
The competition is being administered by Anne Anderson, Secretariat Coordinator, ANZAM. The jury is chaired by Professor Charmine Härtel, University of Queensland, and Chair of the ANZAM Research and Development Sub-Committee. The email address for submissions is
anzam@griffith.edu.au.
Please direct any inquiries to the email address above. Please note that we cannot provide feedback on submitted proposals.
