The society, established to &＃8220;promote and encourage superior research and practice&＃8221; in the field of strategic management, will formally present the award to Nickerson at its annual conference in Minneapolis this weekend.&＃160;Nickerson&＃160;is a non-resident senior fellow in government studies at the Brookings Institution and Olin&＃8217;s Frahm Family Professor of Organization and Strategy. &＃8220;Jackson has made seminal contributions to management education for graduate students, executives, and government leaders,&＃8221; the organization&＃160;reported on its website. &＃8220;He has been an inspiring and insightful teacher for more than 20 years. He has also authored more than 40 case studies, and he has been a true innovator in pedagogy, with some ground-breaking ideas about how to teach strategy to executives and government leaders.&＃8221; Lamar Pierce, professor of organization and strategy and associate dean for the Olin-Brookings Partnership, nominated Nickerson for the award, paying particular attention to his work as an instructor at Brookings and his influence on public sector leaders in Washington, DC. &＃8220;We estimate that, over the past decade, more than 15,000 students have attended onsite and open enrollment courses at Brookings in the programs that Jackson launched,&＃8221; Pierce wrote. I have no doubt that his impact on the federal government has been in the hundreds of millions of dollars. &＃160; Lamar Pierce, on behalf of Jackson Nickerson Pierce also commented on Nickerson&＃8217;s influence and mentorship on junior faculty, noting that Nickerson &＃8220;pulled me off of the academic scrap heap and gave me a job when no one else would.&＃8221; The &＃8216;right&＃8217; questions Daniel Elfenbein, associate professor of strategy at Olin, will introduce Nickerson at the ceremony and also nominated his colleague in a two-page letter, commenting that Nickerson&＃8217;s curriculum and research &＃8220;helped transform student outcomes&＃8221; at the business school. &＃8220;I had several opportunities to be involved in courses taught by Dr. Nickerson as part of a custom-designed program for senior executives in Virginia,&＃8221; said former student Sabrina C. Clark, director of VA Voluntary Service at the Veterans Administration in DC. &＃8220;Jackson&＃8217;s model for asking the &＃8216;right&＃8217; questions to arrive at &＃8216;right&＃8217; solutions is still powerfully resonant and relevant. Without a doubt, that single nugget changed the trajectory of my career.&＃8221; Another former student, Tim Keasling, deputy director of intelligence for the Army National Guard, recalled taking a class in which he and the professor had slightly different goals: &＃8220;My goal was to pass the class,&＃8221; Keasling recalled. &＃8220;Professor Nickerson&＃8217;s objective was for me to get my paper published. I passed the course and had my paper published!&＃8221; About the Author Kurt Greenbaum As communications director for WashU Olin Business School, my job is to find and share great stories about our students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
