AOM - Distinguished Practitioner Scholar Award

Criteria for this all-Academy award include excellence in one or more of the following: (1) successful application of theory or research in practice and/or contributed to knowledge through extraction of learning from practice; (2) authored scholarly works which have substantively affected the practice of management; (3) integration of research and practice. Their work will be respected by peers (both practitioner and academic).
