Prof. Emeritus David Mowery honored as outstanding educator for mentoring PhD students
Prof. Emeritus David Mowery received the 2019 Irwin Outstanding Educator Award from the Academy of Management’s Strategic Management Division at a reception in Boston, Massachusetts on Aug. 11.
The award, established in 2007, recognizes a strategy scholar who has demonstrated outstanding commitment to PhD and doctoral education, as well as ongoing development of junior colleagues. The awards committee recognized Mowery’s exceptional contributions to the field of strategy through mentoring PhD students, who have excelled to become top scholars of the field.
“In the early 2000s until his retirement, many people (very rightly) regarded David as the top PhD advisor in the econ-based strategy field. Mowery student after Mowery student got top jobs at top schools, and most of us have blossomed,” wrote one former student in the award nomination. ”David did this by carefully reading our papers, giving us very sound advice, and most of all, being someone who didn’t try to influence our direction—unless we were struggling with direction—but instead tried to influence the quality of our work.”
The Irwin Reception included speeches from several of Mowery’s former students, who spoke about the impact he had on their careers. More than (two dozen?) of Mowery’s former students attended.
Mowery, a member of the Haas Business & Public Policy Group, is the William A. & Betty H. Hasler Professor Emeritus. His research contributions are in the areas of economics of innovation and technological change, strategic management of technology and innovation, and international trade policy and technology policy. He has authored or co-authored 19 books and over 100 academic articles in numerous top journals.
