Steckler, Kathryn Ostermeier and Danielle Cooper, was chosen by the Best Paper Awards Committee for the prestigious distinction as one of the two finalists for best article published in AOM Annals in 2020.

The mission of AOM Annals is to publish up-to-date, in-depth and integrative reviews of research advances in management. Often called “reviews with an attitude,” Annals papers summarize and/or challenge established assumptions and concepts, pinpoint problems and factual errors, inspire discussions, and illuminate possible avenues for further study. Reviews published in Annals move above and beyond descriptions of the field – they motivate conceptual integration and set agendas for future research.
