Kauffman Foundation Supports ONE Division
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation has awarded the Organization and Natural Environment Division (ONE) at the Academy of Management (AOM) $25,500 to be used over a period of 3 years. The grant will support research at the intersection of natural environment and entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship is an important lever for addressing grand challenges related to environmental sustainability such as biodiversity loss, deforestation, and global warming. Rigorous research can provide evidence-based insights to entrepreneurs for using business as a tool for addressing grand challenges.
Members of the Organizations and Natural Environment (ONE) Division at the Academy of Management (AOM) have spearheaded this scholarly agenda. They engage in rigorous scholarship that explain the when, what, how and why of entrepreneurship which positively impacts the natural environment. Support from the Kauffman Foundation will help ONE members to continue this research.
Kauffman Foundation’s grant will support:
- Best Paper Award for Paper on Environmental Sustainability and Entrepreneurship. This award will be for a rigorous and relevant paper at the intersection of environmental sustainability and entrepreneurship (click on this link for more information).
- Best Early Career Scholar Paper on Environmental Sustainability and Entrepreneurship. This award will be for a rigorous and relevant paper at the intersection of environmental sustainability and entrepreneurship published by a PhD student (as the first author) published within 2-3 years of graduation (click on this link for more information).
- Support for Doctoral Students from the Developing World. 3-4 doctoral students from the developing world will be fully supported (conference registration, stay and travel) for attending the AOM conference. These doctoral students must be accepted to the ONE doctoral consortium. Preference will be given to the doctoral students who may otherwise not be able to attend the conference.
We are grateful to the Kauffman Foundation for encouraging research that can meaningfully impact entrepreneurship for the good of our planet.

2022 ONE Teaching Award - Call for Nominations
Organizations and the Natural Environment (ONE) division of the Academy of Management invites nominations, including self-nominations, for the 2022 ONE Teaching Award. This award recognizes and celebrates teaching accomplishments in the classroom and in educational publications. The award advances the teaching aims of the ONE division by promoting learning in the area of relationships between organizations and the natural environment. These significant relationships need improvement to support the continued existence, development, and management of human organizations and societies. The pollution of air, water, and land, and the depletion of both renewable and nonrenewable resources as a result of actions of formal organizations are the most obvious manifestations of these relationships. Future generations require the related education to support them in meeting these challenges and it is the current generation of scholars that will enable change through this education.
The award will be given to impactful teaching and/or pedagogical research based on a teaching record over the past 5 years (calendar years 2017-2021 inclusive) that demonstrates diverse teaching expertise at the undergraduate, graduate and/or executive/practitioner levels. It is not necessary to have taught at all of these levels to apply for the award, but it is considered advantageous to have experience over at least a couple of these levels. Consideration for this will be given based on the teaching opportunities at the particular institution where some universities do not offer a full range of degrees and/or have a particular focus. The nomination letter should outline any special circumstances related to this issue.

- A demonstrated record of teaching on ONE domain topics, including development of teaching materials
- Publications on teaching/education topics with a ONE orientation
- Work with practitioners and/or in entrepreneurial/experiential learning settings with students to promote environmentally sensitive policies and practices, either locally and/or internationally

For example, such a scholar may have started or moved forward a journal or scholarly series, established research centers or networks, developed foundational research concepts, or been particularly active in training and mentoring those new to the field.
Candidates that are nominated but do not win the award will be automatically re-nominated for the subsequent three years.

Nomination letters should also highlight activities of the scholar that opened up lines of inquiry, new journals, series, conferences or workshops, PhD programs, post-doctoral programs, and the establishment or furthering of dedicated sustainability centers. The awards committee may also seek out additional information from the nominee directly.
The awards committee will examine each nominee’s overview statement and corpus of research, paying attention to both research contributions and the development of our research community. Research contributions will be evaluated according to the criteria normally applied in other ONE awards to assess quality: relevance, academic contribution, theoretical and methodological rigor, and practical implications. Broader scholarly contributions to our community will be based on nomination statements, the committee’s knowledge of the field, and information sometimes solicited from third-party experts. The committee will choose a single ONE Distinguished Scholar Award winner for the year.
