    Posted 04-13-2010 20:23
               The ONE Division is pleased to continue the "ONE Emerging Scholar Award," supported by a commitment of $500 annually by Greenleaf Press.

    Background
     
                    As described on its website, "the Academy of Management is the leading professional association for scholars dedicated to creating and disseminating knowledge about management and organizations."  AoM's members, now numbering 18264 and representing more than 100 nations, are scholars at colleges, universities, and research institutions, as well as practitioners with scholarly interests from business, government, and not-for-profit organizations.
     
                The AoM is organized as communities of scholarship that cohere around important and distinctive research themes.  The Organizations and the Natural Environment (ONE) Division focuses on the area of relationships between organizations and the natural environment.  ONE is a growing and vibrant division, full of energetic scholarly enterprise with 747 members.  In recognizing its ascendancy within the AoM, a recent review noted that ONE had fewer awards than other divisions, and that establishing several new ways to recognize achievement ought to be a priority for the Division.
     
                ONE has always been marked by the presence of its early career scholars.  From doctoral candidates to junior faculty members, our conference sessions feature many new and distinctive voices.  We are very proud of our history of support for early career scholars and established a new award to honor our finest new scholars in 2008. Because we already have an award for the best dissertation by an ONE member, we decided to fund, with the gracious sponsorship of Greenleaf, an award for an early career scholar.
