Dear OSCM Members,

Each year, the OSCM division of the Academy of Management bestows a Distinguished Scholar Award to a leading global scholar in our community. This award has two primary criteria:

1.      To recognize commitment to serve the operations and supply chain field, both as a whole and within the Academy of Management, and

2.      To honor scholarly excellence which has helped to shape both the field's body of knowledge and practice. 

The OSCM Division promotes research on important and broad problems, with a focus on empirical research that is often cross-disciplinary. The Distinguished Scholar Award offers an opportunity to recognize and honor scholars that emphasize this focus.

We are looking for nominations for this year's Distinguished Scholar Award. Please consider nominating someone who has made a major impact on our discipline for the award. Self-nominations are also welcome. 

Please email me (kai.foerstl@ebs.edu) your brief nomination letter no later than 5:00 PM (EDT) on Mai 5^th, 2025. The letter should briefly describe the nominee's scholarly impact, service to the operations and supply chain field, and contributions to AOM broadly and the OSCM Division specifically. Please include the nominee's most recent CV with your nomination.

Thank you,

Kai Foerstl

Past OSCM Division Chair
