Honour for Howard Thomas

Howard joins an elite list of those who have been recognised for their contribution to professional and scholarly activities in the field of strategic management.

Dan E. Schendel, Executive Director of the SMS said, "The people we recognise tonight gave freely of their time, advice, and service without asking for anything in return except professional behaviour and thoughtful contributions to what we know about managing strategy. Take time to thank them, and continue your efforts to be just like them."
