2012 Dissertation Award Competition
The AAA Management Accounting Section is pleased to announce its 2012 dissertation award
competition. The purpose of this competition is to recognize outstanding dissertation research in
the field of management accounting. The award is generously sponsored by the Institute of
Management Accountants (IMA). This year's winner will be honored with a cash award of
$1,000, and the runner-up will receive $250. Both the winner and the runner-up will receive
plaques at the Management Accounting Section Luncheon of the AAA Annual Meeting in
August 2012.
An entry may be nominated by either the student who authored the dissertation or one or more
members of the dissertation committee. The entry may NOT be simultaneously submitted to
other dissertation competitions sponsored by other Sections of the American Accounting
Association. All entries must include a letter from the dissertation chairperson stating that the
dissertation has been completed and accepted by the degree-granting institution between
January 1 and December 31 of 2011; that is, the 2012 award recipient must have completed
his/her dissertation during 2011.
Please note that dissertations that have been considered for, or that have won, the AAA/Grant
Thornton Doctoral Dissertation Award (which is intended to recognize innovative research of
third or fourth year PhD students that have passed their proposal defense at the time of the
award) are not excluded from having their completed dissertation considered for the
Management Accounting Section Dissertation Award.
An electronic copy of the dissertation or a solo-authored working paper from the dissertation
should be emailed to the Chair of the Dissertation Award committee. While the committee would
prefer working paper submissions, no advantage will be given to submissions in that form.
Please ensure that all materials are received by the Chair of the Dissertation Award selection
committee – [Naomi Soderstrom, naomi.soderstrom@colorado.edu] – by March 1st 2012.
Thank you,
Naomi Soderstrom
