THE PASMORE-WOODMAN AWARD: NOMINATION PROCESS AND AWARD CRITERIA
The Pasmore-Woodman Award is presented annually. It is sponsored by Emerald Group Publishing, publishers of the ROCD series. The award has been established by the ODC Division in recognition of the contribution that Bill Pasmore and Dick Woodman have provided to the ODC field by creating the Research in Organizational Change and Development (ROCD) Annual series 27 years ago. Through this series these inspirational colleagues have created and nurtured a platform for sharing work by scholars and practitioners that has resulted in some landmark breakthroughs and insights and the triggering of new directions and streams of ODC research and practice.
In line with the spirit of Bill Pasmore and Dick Woodman's work on the ROCD series, which has truly been a joint partnership, the award will be made to two or more colleagues who for a sustained period of time have managed to maintain a significant working relationship that has resulted in work that is original and innovative and that has informed ODC research and practice. The award can be made for work that is outstanding either in the sense of content or medium; that is the work could have been published in the form of traditional journal articles as well as monographs, edited collections, book series, ebooks, open access publications, films, etc.
