AMA Entrepreneurial Marketing SIG invites nominations for
The 2011 Gerald E. Hills Best Paper Award
Gerald (Gerry) E. Hills is widely recognized for his research and expertise in entrepreneurial marketing, especially for his work on opportunity recognition. In addition, Gerry initiated and continues to organize a symposium on entrepreneurial marketing since the eighties. In fact, Gerry was one of the AMA leaders who initiated the Special Interest Group concept. The Entrepreneurial Marketing SIG is pleased to present a best paper award in recognition of Gerry’s lifetime contributions to the field.
Award Criteria:
The Gerald E. Hills Award Best Paper on Entrepreneurial Marketing award is presented annually (usually during the Summer AMA) to the author(s) of the “best paper” who have made a significant impact on the marketing/entrepreneurship interface research. The domain of nominated articles would be papers published in the previous 10 years in any refereed publication.
The inaugural 2009 Hills award was presented during the Summer AMA in Chicago to Prof. Saras Sarasvathy (University of Virginia) for her article, “Causation and Effectuation: Toward a Theoretical Shift from Economic Inevitability to Entrepreneurial Contingency,” published in the Academy of Management Review, 2001, (2), 243-263.
