On 13 May the JIBS winners of the 2008 Professor Eric Rhenman Award were presented by Bengt Stymne, Professor Emeritus from Stockholm School of Economics.
Eric Rhenman, a well known person in the academic world and within the business community both in Scandinavia and elsewhere, wrote numerous books and articles within the areas of business economics and business management. He was a professor at the Stockholm School of Economics and at the University of Lund as well as a visiting professor at the Harvard Business School. In 1966, Eric Rhenman, together with some colleagues from the Stockholm School of Economics, established the research organisation SIAR.
The award is given to the top three theses in four selected schools around the Baltic Rim, for theses bridging the gap between management theory and practice, a topic to which Eric Rhenman devoted much of his time.
In additon to JIBS the following schools are participating: The State University of St Petersburg (Dept. of Economics & Sociology, School of Business); Tallinn University of Technology (School of Economics and Business Management); Ã…bo Academy University (Department of Industrial Management).
The winning thesis from each school will be invited to participate in a contest at the SIAR-seminar on “Clinical Research in Business Administration in Scandinavia” to be held in Finland this autumn.
