In 2014, seven years after the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal was launched, an annual best paper award was established by co-sponsors Wiley and the Strategic Management Society to honor substantial work published in the SEJ. As with the Dan and Mary Lou Schendel Best Paper Prize, the award is for a paper published five or more years prior to the recognition. This delay allows time for the impact of papers to be assessed in terms of citations and influence of the paper on teaching, research, and/or practice. Once eligible, a paper remains eligible until selected as the best paper. Continued eligibility allows recognition to be made for those insights and findings that sometimes occur before their time and only become widely recognized as significant after other work is published.
The award committee consists of the Editorial Board of the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal.
Authors of the winning paper receive a monetary award of US$ 5,000. The award is given and the authors are recognized at the SMS Annual Conference and are invited to participate in the SMS Awards & Honors Webinar Series.
The 2022 SEJ Best Paper Award goes to Matthew S. Wood and William McKinley for “The production of entrepreneurial opportunity: a constructionist perspective,” published in Volume 4, Issue 1 (March 2010). This work represents an excellent take on “opportunity creation” and the application of a social constructionist lens more so than other papers on a similar topic. It is currently the best cited works of one of the most important thinkers in contemporary entrepreneurship research and represents one of the best articles published in SEJ.
