2010 Award for Best Paper in POS

The Center for POS announced the 2010 winner of the second bi-annual Award for Best Paper in Positive Organizational Scholarship on January 7, 2011, at the POS conference. Co-authors of the winning paper, Stuart Bunderson and Jeffery Thompson, then gave the keynote address.

The Center for POS launched this biannual award in 2008 to recognize outstanding scholarship in positive organizational scholarship and to encourage research.

The award carries a $5,000 (USD) prize plus paid expenses to the bi-annual Conference on Positive Organizational Scholarship hosted by the Center for POS in Ann Arbor, MI, where the recipient gives an invited talk at the conference, based on the article that wins the award.

Information about applying for the 2012 Award will be available by early 2012 at www.bus.umich.edu/positive. We look forward to another set of outstanding submissions!
