Roland Calori Prize

This prize has been created to pay tribute to Professor Roland Calori for his invaluable contribution to the three co-awarding institutions, Organization Studies, Grande Ecole de Management et de Commerce (EM) Lyon and the European Group for Organization Studies (EGOS). The prize of ¤ 2,000 is sponsored by EM Lyon.

The Roland Calori Prize is awarded bi-annually for the best article published in Organization Studies over the previous two years. The winning paper displays methodological quality and theoretical innovativeness and reflects the diversity of social science perspectives as they relate to organizations and the organized. In the spirit of Roland Calori's own work, the prize reflects pluralism in research traditions and diversity of paradigms.

In 2009, the Roland Calori Prize was awarded for the fourth time at the 25th EGOS Colloquium in Barcelona.
