CEO Paper Contest
Management Best Practices Contest
CEO Best Practices Paper Awards
CEO Q is proud to launch the first
annual global CEO best-practices and white paper contest. Management
consultants, executives, professors, researchers and authors have the
opportunity to enter and win one of the most prestigious awards. The
competition is judged by industry peers and a panel of management
experts. One winner will be selected and up to nine management papers will
be selected for honorable mention.
Why Create an Award?
The world's best performing companies are responding to the
increasing pressures of changing technologies, customers,
employees, shareholders, and market dynamics. CEOs need better
understanding of the changing business environment and how their
companies can best respond to these changes. We are looking for
management
experts who can demonstrate a clear understanding of the key
challenges facing today's organizations, propose solutions and
produce ideas for shaping the future business agenda.

Whenever possible, obtain the author's
permission before using their expression of ideas.
