MANAGEMENT CONSULTING (MC) DIVISION
At the Management Consulting division we have a number of awards that we have the pleasure of giving out each year during the annual conference, to recognize scholars and practitioners for their outstanding achievements. To us the awards are more than just plaques bearing names of the recipients and a handshake. It is the chance to recognize truly inspiring work from our peers and it is something to strive for. The field of Management Consulting is fascinating but it is also challenging as it can be difficult to obtain the data needed for high class research. This is recognized in our awards. Below is a short description of the awards and the recipients. Both to acknowledge the efforts of the award winners and to encourage submissions that are eligible to receive these awards in the years to come.
Best Paper Award
This award is given for the papers on management consulting that live up to the criteria for excellent research papers. It is given for papers that combine rigor with sharp analysis and clear answers on research topics and questions that are very complex. This year we were very happy to give out no less than three awards in this category. All three papers show the different ways to explore and cross over boundaries between companies, universities and management consulting areas.
"Contribution of SEAM to the Alignment of Student Affairs Mission with the University Social Mission"
Omaya Kuran
University of Balamand
"Entrepreneurial Ecosystem: A Conceptual Framework for the Professional Service Field"
Markus Reihlen
Leuphana University Lüneburg
Christop Seckler
Leuphana University Lüneburg
Andreas Werr
Stockholm School of Economics
"Causal Modeling in HR Analytics: A Practical Guide to Models, Pitfalls and Suggestions"
Minghui Cheng
MCMaster University
Outstanding Field Report Paper Award
Management Consulting happens in the field and thus one very good but also very challenging approach to studying it is through fieldwork. This discipline is demanding and rewarding if done correctly and can help shed light on practice as it unfolds. This year, winners examine the power dynamics between incumbent CEOs and elected CEOS, by attempting to help filling the gap in the actual researches and to underline practical implications for consultants, executives, and boards of directors.
"The Link Between CEO Over Identification and CEO Power Relinquishing Attitude"
Rida Elias
American University of Beirut
Bassam Farah
American University of Beirut
Information Age Publishing Outstanding Doctoral Student Paper on Management Consulting
It is also a struggle to write a Ph.D. dissertation and often students question if it is worth the effort. We want to acknowledge the efforts and new approaches Ph.D. students offer. Therefore we, through the generous contribution of Information Age Publishing, recognize outstanding work done by Ph.D. students with this award.

Outstanding Field Report Paper Award
Management Consulting happens in the field and thus one very good but also very challenging approach to studying it is through fieldwork. This discipline is demanding and rewarding if done correctly and can help shed light on practice as it unfolds. This year, winners examine the power dynamics between incumbent CEOs and elected CEOS, by attempting to help filling the gap in the actual researches and to underline practical implications for consultants, executives, and boards of directors.

MANAGEMENT EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT (MED) DIVISION
This year, the Management Education and Development Division (MED) granted six awards to the best submissions received for the conference in Atlanta. Four paper awards, one symposium and one PDW award recognize the hard work of the thought leaders in our field of management education. In addition, the Executive Committee granted the Outstanding Member Service Award to Darlene Alexander-Houle, the MED Newsletter Coordinator of several years.
Our colleagues' scholarship, combined with the outstanding work that Paul Hibbert did as our MED Program Chair, Kim Gower as our PDW Chair, Josh Daspit as the MED Research Coordinator, and Peter McNamara as our 2016-17 MED Chair. Awards were selected through two rounds of review, first by the program reviewers from which Paul Hibbert chose a shortlist and then by the MED Research Awards Review committee, led by Josh Daspit. Each of the awards included a $500 prize and an award plaque.
As my predecessors have stated in previous years, the most important awards were those to 43 management education researchers named Outstanding MED reviewer awards (listed below). Without them, the program does not run. Most importantly, these reviewers advance the field of Management Education and Development research by providing collegial reviews that help us all to improve our work for future publication. We hope to add your name to this list in 2018! The first step will be signing up to review, once the AOM system opens in a few short weeks, this coming October.

MANAGEMENT HISTORY(MH) DIVISION
The Management History Division - although one of the smaller divisions in the Academy of Management (AOM) - is also one of the oldest. Management historians played a seminal role in the formation and the early development of the AOM. Among these was John F. Mee, who served as the Academy's 7th President in 1952. The long-time Head of Management Studies at the University of Indiana, Mee was an active contributor to the world around him, serving as a Colonel in the United States air-force in WWII and as a senior advisor to the Truman administration. In recognition of Mee's contribution to the Division, the MHD award for the top paper given at the Annual Meeting is the John F. Mee Award for Outstanding Contribution. Rivalling this award, is the Journal of Management History Award for the Best International Paper in Management History; an award that is supported by Emerald, the publisher of the Journal of Management History. The division also offers awards for the best paper in leadership and the best student paper.
