The best research – and the researchers responsible for it – have been honoured at the annual ERIM Awards Ceremony, hosted by the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM). Academic prizes were awarded for achievements such as excellence in dissertations, and management impact.

The 2016 Junior Top Article Award, for the best publication in management with a junior ERIM member as the lead author, was presented to Prof. Dr. Fabian Sting for his article with Jürgen Mihm and Tan Wang On the Effectiveness of Patenting Strategies in Innovation Races published in Management Science. Fabian Sting is Professor at the WiSo Faculty in Cologne since October 2016 and Associate Professor of Operations Management at RSM. The jury said about his publication: “This is a very innovative study addressing a highly relevant topic about the trade-offs involved in patenting strategies.”
