The SMS Journals Video Abstract Award was established in 2019 by SMS Media Innovations to promote the development of high-quality video abstracts for research published in SMS Journals. It is open to all authors of accepted articles in any of the three SMS journals that have submitted a video abstract to be included with their Article of Record. All journal abstracts can be found in playlists on the SMS YouTube channel.
The winner of the SMS 2021 Video Abstract Award is “Replication Using Templates,” based on the Strategic Management Journal article by Megan Lawrence, “Replication using templates: Does the unit learn from itself, the template, or both?.” Lawrence's article investigates firms' use of templates when trying to replicate practices. Her video abstract features a personal touch as she talks through her well-narrated overview of her research. The video provides a clear description of the findings of the article, has strong appeal for all of the main audiences for SMS video abstracts, including researchers, practitioners and students, and represents the rising importance of authors plainly explaining their own work across different mediums. This video abstract was among the top abstracts viewed on the SMS YouTube channel during 2021. Congratulations to Megan!
