Co-sponsored by the Responsible Research in Business and Management
Announcement of Winners
Objectives
The Fellows Group of the Academy of Management recognizes and honors members who have made significant contributions to the science and practice of management. In 2021, the Fellows joined forces with the Community for Responsible Research in Business and Management to sponsor the Responsible Research in Management Award. Responsible research gives rise to both credible and useful knowledge. Credibility refers to the reliability, validity, and trustworthiness of findings, in either inductive or deductive work, using qualitative data, quantitative data, or both. Usefulness refers to the potential of research findings to make the world a better place by informing policy and influencing practice.
