Call for Nominations

The AAA Management Accounting Section is pleased to announce its 2008 dissertation award competition. The purpose of this competition is to recognize outstanding dissertation research in the field of management accounting. 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 runner-up will receive plaques at the AAA Management Accounting Section Business Meeting in August 2008.

An entry may be nominated by either

    (a) the student who authored the dissertation, or
    (b) 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 AAA. 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 2007.

Four copies of the dissertation or a solo-authored working paper from the dissertation should be sent to the Chair of the Dissertation Award Committee. Submissions will not be returned to the author. While the committee would prefer working paper submissions, no advantage will be given to submissions in that form.
