AOM Awards for Ida-Anna Thiele and Christopher Schlägel

This year’s Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Copenhagen – with far more than 13,000 participants the largest gathering of its kind worldwide – brought several notable achievements for the Chair of Behavioral International Management. Firstly, it should be mentioned that both Ida-Anna Thiele, M. Sc., and Prof. Christopher Schlägel were each awarded a Best Reviewer Award from the International Management Division. This recognition is granted to only the top five percent of reviewers who contribute to the quality of the conference through exceptionally constructive reviews.

In addition, doctoral researcher Ida-Anna Thiele was successful with two subprojects of her upcoming dissertation, both of which were accepted into doctoral workshops in the fields of International Management and Strategic Management. There, she had the opportunity to present her research and engage in intensive discussions with renowned professors. She also received a travel grant.

Prof. Schlägel contributed to the main conference program with the presentation of a current research paper. During the AOM 2025, the Journal of World Business (VHB A-ranked) honored him with the Best Reviewer Award 2024 for his outstanding review work in the past year. Since mid-2025, Prof. Schlägel has additionally been serving as an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Human Resource Management (VHB A-ranked).
