The Roland Calori prize - Organization Studies

Awarded by Egos, EM LYON, and Organization Studies

This prize has been created to pay tribute to Roland Calori for his invaluable contribution to the three co-awarding institutions.

The prize will be awarded for the best paper published in Organization Studies in each calendar year (January to end December). Criteria for consideration as a best paper include one which is rooted in the Social Sciences (organizations being studied in their societal, political and economic contexts), which displays methodological quality and theoretical innovativeness, which reflects the diversity of societal perspectives and which highlights our understanding of differences and relatedness. Each of these will merit consideration of a paper. In the spirit of Roland Calori's own work, the prize will reflect pluralism in research traditions and diversity of paradigms.

The prize will be 2000 euros funded by EM LYON, and will be awarded during the EGOS Colloquium, each second year.

The eligible papers are those published by Organization Studies, beginning in calendar years 2001 and 2002. This prize will be awarded at the Copenhagen Colloquium in July 2003. The prize will be awarded hi-annually thereafter.

The selection process will be via a committee headed by the chair of the Organization Studies Advisory Board and will include the incoming Editorin-Chief of Organization Studies and one member of the EGOS Board (chosen by the board). They will select a shortlist of 9 papers maximum in March. They will then designate a panel of 9 members to whom these papers are sent. The panel members select one paper each in this shortlist by mid-May. The panel composition may change from time to time. However, it will comprise at least 5 persons who are not sitting on the Editorial Board, the Advisory Board or the EGOS Board.

Organization Studies will publish a short celebration for the winner of the prize and, of course, thank the panellists for their efforts.

The first session of the committee is scheduled to meet in Lyon in March 2003 to award the first prize for best paper in 2001 and 2002.
