Guidelines
Guidelines for Approval of ANZAM Fellow Nominations
The Membership Sub-committee of the ANZAM Board will consider all nominations for Fellows and make recommendations to the full ANZAM Board. Nominees must have been Professional members of ANZAM for at least five (5) years and their applications will be evaluated across all of the following criteria; however nominations must demonstrate exceptional performance in at least three of the five criteria as follows. Of these three, the Membership Committee will be prepared to weigh truly outstanding contributions in one particular area against more limited involvement in the other two.
1. A significant research contribution to the management discipline as evidenced by books, refereed papers in major journals, awards for research, the practical use of research findings by the management profession. Particular attention will be paid to the following aspects:
- Evidence of research quality through citation analysis
- Honorary awards
- Recognition from the practitioner community
- Editorship of journals, Conference organisation (relevant to the broad management discipline)
- International reputation in a certain area
- Prestigious fellowships or visiting lectureships
- Successful research grant awards
- Prize winning publications
- Influential reports to government
2. A significant contribution to management education. This educational contribution would be evidenced by such things as teaching awards, the successful use of innovative teaching methods and the writing of case studies and management texts and the mentoring of PhD students.
3. A significant contribution to management practice through senior leadership positions in public or private sector organisations over a period of at least ten years.
4. A significant and successful leadership role in the management school or department of a university in the Australia and New Zealand region. This leadership role would be evidenced by the length of time that the leadership role had been undertaken, the standing of graduates in academic and/or professional roles, the successes of staff members with respect to research and teaching, career placement of graduates from programs under the nominee’s responsibility.
5. A significant leadership role in the management discipline as evidenced by the taking of leadership positions in the academies and practitioner organisations, with evidence of significant individual contribution which has led to changes and advancement in these organisations. Another form of leadership would be playing a significant role in organizing the Academy’s annual conference.
6. A significant advocacy role for the management discipline through widely recognised contributions to government panels and/or taskforces, high-level industry panels of inquiry, Senate inquiries, or similar.
