THE NADA SANDERS EMERGING ECONOMIES DOCTORAL DISSERTATION AWARD FOR LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
ABOUT
The Emerging Economies Doctoral Student Award (EEDSA) was created by the Production and Operations Management Society (POMS) in 2008 to establish institutional linkages, to reach out to future scholars in emerging economies, to encourage their development and to facilitate building connection to POMS. The emerging economies are grouped into the following three regions for this award: Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America & Caribbean. Starting in the year 2022, these awards have been named after distinguished members of the POMS community who have played a pivotal role in the development of doctoral education. These awards are called:
- The Nagesh Murthy Emerging Economies Doctoral Student Award for Asia - Pacific region
- The Dino Petrarolo Emerging Economies Doctoral Student Award for Africa and the Middle East
- The Nada Sanders Emerging Economies Doctoral Student Award for Latin America and the Caribbean
