Award-winning research and funding success
Features21 May 2009
During the past month Warwick Business School has received a string of research awards and news of a successful funding application.
Success in funding research
Dr Qing Wang, Reader in Marketing and Innovation, and her doctoral student Zhuohao Chen, have been awarded a three-year AXA grant to investigate emerging market brand extension using neuromarketing approach. This research fits well with the themes of the Marketing, Innovation and Chinese Economy (MICE) network led by Dr Qing Wang. For more information about MICE, click here.
This grant is funded by AXA, a major financial company based in France, and is the first such grant that the University of Warwick has obtained. Its success represents a joint effort of the project team, the WBS doctoral programme office and the University's Graduate School Office.
Research Awards
Emerald Group Publishing is one of the major players in terms of publishing academic research. Three WBS faculty members have won recognition from Emerald for different categories of publications.
Loizos Heracleous is among the winners of the newly-launched Best Practical Implications Award. Based on Emerald's long-standing 'Research you can use' publishing philosophy, the award was set to encourage and acknowledge research that is both rigorous and relevant to practitioners.
His jointly-authored paper Managing human resources for service excellence and cost effectiveness at Singapore Airlines is published in Managing Service Quality, Vol 18 No 1, 2008. It was selected by Emerald representatives for its quality and clear application of research among articles published last year.

Amanda Goodall's paper Why Have the Leading Journals in Management (and Other Social Sciences) Failed to Respond to Climate Change?, published in Journal of Management Inquiry volume 17 no 4,
and
Michael Mol's jointly-authored paper Management Innovation, published in Academy of Management Review volume 33 issue 4, have both been selected for an Emerald Management Reviews Citation of Excellence Award. Now in their thirteenth year, these distinguished annual awards recognize the 50 outstanding articles published by the top 400 management journals in the world.
Authors of the winning articles receive an official certificate and badge to display on their work. The award brings with it peer recognition and, frequently, increases in research funding. Over 15,000 article reviews are added annually, so being singled out as one of the top 50 is quite an honour.
Details of the papers are available online until the middle of June, see http://info.emeraldinsight.com/products/reviews/awards.htm?id=2008.
Doctoral student Sakkapop Panyanukul, now in his second year of study on the Finance PhD programme, has been given the Best Young Scholar Award for his paper Liquidity Risk and the Pricing of Sovereign Bonds in Emerging Markets, which is to be presented in a poster session at the NYSE/Tinbergen Institute Workshop in Amsterdam early in June. Sakkapop's thesis title is 'Liquidity and International Asset Pricing'.
