An article by Assistant Professor Anna Kim has won the 2018 OMT Best International Paper Award handed out by the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) division of the Academy of Management (AOM).
Ms. Kim received the award on Monday, August 13 in Chicago at the OMT Business Meeting during the annual AOM conference. Her article, Local Remembering, Global Forgetting: Uses of the Past in Corporate-Community Relations in Kenya, is a qualitative study of interactions between a multinational beverage corporation and a tea-growing community in Kenya. It examines the strategy used to establish mutually beneficial partnerships between the company and the local community, despite their conflicting views of a shared past.
In addition to winning the award, Ms. Kim’s study was also nominated by the OMT for the Carolyn B. Dexter Award, a prestigious prize recognizing the article that best meets the AOM’s internationalization objective.
