The Industry Studies Association (ISA) is pleased to invite submissions for its ANNUAL DISSERTATION AWARD COMPETITION.

The award is accompanied by a $500 honorarium for first prize and a $250 honorarium for second prize.

To be eligible for the competition, candidates must have completed a doctoral dissertation in economics, management, engineering, political science, or in a related or interdisciplinary field between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011. Candidates must have successfully defended their dissertations and received the final approval and all required sign-offs on their dissertation document by June 30, 2011.

The Industry Studies Association welcomes nominations from members; however, candidates and nominators are not required to have any prior relationship with the ISA. Direct applications are not accepted.
A primary goal of the Dissertation Award is to advance excellence in industry studies research by encouraging new scholars.
