The IACMR are pleased to offer the winner(s) a complimentary membership, which will include a free online subscription to Management and Organization Review, for a limited time of 12 months. To those who are already IACMR members, their membership will be extended by one year beyond their current membership expiration date. Similarly, Emerald will also offer a subscription to Chinese Management Studies, on the same terms.
Professor Marjorie Lyles, Head of the Research Committee at the IACMR, commented: "The winning project has two major strengths. First, it is on an extremely important topic since corruption poses such a difficult challenge for China and for the Chinese people and government. Corruption affects the perception of the whole country and impacts everyday life, investment, and trade in general. Second, the research methodology is innovative in terms of using court transcripts and of analyzing information on the internet. The researchers have demonstrated clear knowledge of the phenomenon and utilize interviews, content analysis, and laboratory experiments to study the different settings of information dissemination to find out the influence on perceived risks of detection. We expect the outcomes of this project will inform both practice and future research involving triangulation of methods. It is a worthwhile project to support and we look forward to seeing the outcomes from this research effort. The judges of the International Association for Chinese Management Research are pleased with the opportunity to contribute to the selection of this excellent proposal."
Testimonials
"We are honoured to receive the 2009 Emerald/IACMR Chinese Management Research Fund Award. Thanks to Emerald Group Publishing Limited and the IACMR for providing this fund and other convenience for researches like ours. Thanks for the reviewers’ careful work and comments. All this serves as encouragement as we continue our present work and seek to do better. The Center for Leadership Development and Research was founded in June 2008 at School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University. We try to do research that is significant - both academically and practically - and aim to promote a sustainable relationship between business and the whole society. The topic of corruption is one of the main research areas we focus on, and the one we have prioritized recently. This research fund marks a good start for our project in this area. We hope to further explore it and provide insights for policy-making and business practice in China and even more societies."
