Dear IACMR members: 

We are delighted to honor this year’s (2020) “Responsible Research in Management Award” winners through a series of three webinars on Zoom. You are invited to attend and learn from the award winning authors on how to conduct meaningful and publishable responsible research. Registration is required to participate (see Registration link below). 

The first webinar will be on August 6^th. Two more webinars will be scheduled in early October and early December this year to honor other award winners. A description of this annual award, which began in 2018, and all winners in the past three years can be found on this RRBM webpage. We are very excited to inaugurate this RRM Award Winner Webinar series in 2020.

Six Award winning papers (see below for list) will be presented in the August 6 webinar on the theme of “Entrepreneurship, social enterprising, and sustainability”.  Professor Jeffery Pfeffer of Stanford University will be our discussant for the first webinar. Professor David Zhu of the Arizona State University will be the chair and moderator of this webinar.

We look forward to your participation in this existing webinar series to learn from our award winners and engage in an intellectual conversation on responsible research in management!
