Wharton Faculty Win National
Awards
The motion picture industry,
social security reform and
effective negotiation were
among several faculty
research projects to garner
national awards recently.
Selected awards include:
Professor Jehoshua
Eliashberg, the Sebestian S.
Kresge Professor of Marketing
and professor of operations
and information
management, was awarded
the Carol and Bruce Mallen
Prize for Published Scholarly
Writing in Motion Picture
Industry Studies by the Fort
Lauderdale International
Film Festival. Eliashberg’s
research looks at emerging
technologies and supply
chain trends in the entertainment
industry, among other
issues.
Professor Olivia S.
Mitchell, the International
Foundation of Employee
Benefit Plans Professor of
Insurance and Risk Management,
won the TIAA-CREF
fourth annual Paul A.
Samuelson Award for Outstanding
Scholarly Writing
on Lifelong Financial Security
for a co-authored paper
called “Social Security Money’s
Worth.” The paper
found that the costs and risks
of reforming Social Security
are obscured or understated
in proposals from virtually
all points on the political and
economic spectrum. TIAA-CREF
is the largest pension
system in the world.
Professor G. Richard
Shell, chairperson of the
legal studies department, was
awarded the book prize of
the CPR Award for Excellence
in Alternative Dispute
Resolution for his 1999 book
Bargaining for Advantage:
Negotiation Strategies for
Reasonable People. Shell’s
book was Wharton’s first on
the subject of negotiation,
which has become one of
the school’s most popular
electives in both the MBA
and undergraduate curricula.
