To be elected to the Fellows Group of the Strategic Management Society is a humbling experience to say the least.

The purpose of the Fellows Group is to honor members of the Strategic Management Society who have made significant contributions to the theory and practice of strategic management, as well as to provide opportunities for fellowship and a forum for discussion among persons so recognized and honored.

To be recognized by my peers whom I hold in such reverence and esteem, and to join them in this fellowship is truly a great honor for me. Thank you to the society, and a special thank you to all of my teachers, colleagues, students, and friends and family. I could not have done this without your grace and help along every step of the way.
