The TIMS College on Organization Best Dissertation Proposal Award
recognizes the Ph.D. candidate with the best dissertation proposal
in the Organizations area (see the Policy Statements in Management
Science, March 1995, and Organization Science, February 1995, for

should develop the theory and method for the proposed research. The
applicant's dissertation adviser should also submit a nominating
letter certifying that the applicant has been admitted to candidacy

expected to complete the dissertation before 1996 are not eligible.
Each university department may nominate an unlimited number of students
for the award, but no more than two students from any university
may be selected as finalists.
Finalists will be invited to present their research in a workshop on
Sunday, October 29, 1995. At the workshop, finalists will have an
opportunity to get detailed feedback from a panel of expert organizational
scholars. There will also be opportunities for informal discussion with
panel members and other finalists. The winners of the award will be
selected and announced at the end of the workshop. The student with the
