2025 JIBS Decade Award for "Institutions and social entrepreneurship: The role of institutional voids, institutional support, and institutional configurations" by Stephan, U., Uhlaner, L & Stride, C. (2015)

Journal of International Business Studies Decade Award

The award is designed to recognise the most influential paper published in the Journal of International Business Studies volume one decade prior and is presented at the AIB Annual Conference. One measure of influence is the degree to which candidate articles have been cited in the ten years following their publication. In order to be considered for this award, a paper must be included among the five most cited papers published in the JIBS Volume of that year.

Eligible articles are reviewed by an official Selection Committee consisting of current members of the JIBS Editorial Board, the Editor-in-Chief, and the current and previous Conference Program Chairs, and AIB’s President. Winners are officially recognized at the AIB Annual Conference. For more detailed information, consult the JIBS Decade Award Bylaws.

A special session is held at the Annual Conference, during which the winner makes a retrospective presentation of their work, as well as some comments on where the field has progressed and where it should go next.
