Lu’s papers win 2021 awards
Jackson Lu has recently received four honors for three different papers.
First, Lu won the 2021 Phillips and Nadkarni Award for Outstanding Paper on Diversity and Cognition from the Managerial and Organizational Cognition Division of the Academy of Management (AOM). Lu’s sole-authored winning paper is entitled “Cultural Diversity Stimulates Entrepreneurship: Evidence from Two Large-Scale Natural Experiments”. Worth noting, is the distinction that two of the five finalist papers were Lu’s, and the one above won: Lu also was a finalist for this same award with a different sole-authored paper entitled “The Bamboo Ceiling: A Network Perspective on Why East Asians Are Underrepresented in Leadership”.
The second paper above was also honored with a nomination for the AOM’s Carolyn B. Dexter Award, an academy-wide honor for the paper that “best meets the objective of internationalizing the Academy of Management.”
Finally, Lu was a finalist for the 2021 Responsible Research in Management Award, selected by AOM Fellows and co-sponsored by Responsible Research in Business and Management to recognize recent research that “benefits society by producing credible and useful knowledge.” Lu’s finalist paper, entitled “The Bamboo Ceiling: Why East Asians but Not South Asians Are Underrepresented in Leadership Positions in the United States” (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Mar 2020, 117(9), 4590-4600), was co-authored with Richard E. Nisbett (University of Michigan) and Michael W. Morris (Columbia University).
