2003 Scholarly Contributions to Management Award
Presented to Michael Porter by the Academy of Management, a professional association for scholars from around the world who are dedicated to creating and disseminating knowledge about management and organizations. With this annual award, the Academy recognizes significant scholarly contributions that have substantially affected management knowledge and practice.

“When someone like Michael Porter tells companies that sustainability and related social and environmental issues will affect the future of the company’s competitiveness, people listen. He has had similar impact on countries as part of his pioneer work on the competitiveness of nations. Many have lauded Porter’s pioneering efforts and strategy, but I personally believe his connecting to the larger social and environmental well-being upon which all companies and nations ultimately depend, will prove to be one of his most enduring contributions.”
--Peter M Senge
Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management

“Professor Porter has been, and still is, the most influential global thinker on Strategy. His contributions are numerous and as relevant today as when he first developed them. The Five Forces framework, for instance, is a tool that people can use to analyze their industries. A tool has no value on its own, it’s how we use it that gives it value. But the tool cannot be blamed for anything!”
--Costas Markides
Robert P Bauman Professor of Strategic Leadership, London Business School

“Initially, Porter essentially took micro economics knowledge of structural analysis of industries and made it accessible to managers. That was a very important contribution for a practical purpose. The discussion on the idea of clusters is not exactly a new argument. But all the management academics who become very well known, are to some extent, popularisers of discipline-based theories. I think the contribution is very important because it came at the right time when there was liberalization of the global economy and of investments, and the opening of markets.”
--Yves L Doz
The Timken Chaired Professor of Global Technology and Innovation Professor of Business Policy, INSEAD

“Michael Porter’s stature as the preeminent business strategist in the world is unassailable. He invented the theory of competitive advantage and continues to innovate insights as each year goes by.”
--Don Tapscott
Chief Executive, New Paradigm and author of ‘Wikinomics’

“Michael Porter’s best contribution was broadening the definition of competition with the Five Forces. It was a seminal piece of work."
