The Role of Organizational Behavior in Competition & Creative Bursts and Intellectual Outliers


The Andrew W. Marshall Foundation (AWMF) is offering two multi-round prizes of up to $13,000 each for intellectually bold work on The Role of Organizational Behavior in Competition and Creative Bursts and Intellectual Outliers.

AWMF seeks submissions that reinvigorate strategic thinking on organizational behavior and its impact on strategic competition, and submissions that examine how collective creativity among peer groups or within an organization comes about, is fostered, and is maintained.
