Rekha Krishnan, an assistant professor of international business at Simon Fraser University, is the recipient of the 2009 Verity Award for excellence in research in the management field.
The Verity International Award for Overall Outstanding Paper in Management is given in recognition of the most outstanding paper in the field of management and published in CJAS.
Krishnan is co-author of an award-winning paper, Conform or Rebel: When Does Keeping to the Rules Enhance Firm Performance?, published last summer in the Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences (CJAS).
Research considered for this award comes from disciplines traditionally considered within the field of management – including human resources management, organizational behaviour, strategic management and international business.
Krishnan focuses on international alliance performance and is particularly interested in the more subtle issues that can affect alliance performance.
Krishnan came to SFU Business from the University of Tilburg in the Netherlands in 2005. Originally from India, she is also a poet and has been published in Indian English language newspapers. She also writes business cases for non-academic business media in India.
The award was established in 2006 in conjunction with Verity International Limited, a career management and transition consulting firm.
