Roger Martin and Nancy Lang Awards for Excellence in Research and Teaching Awarded to Rotman Faculty
TORONTO, December 20, 2002 -- A leading researcher, an innovator in executive education, and a top accounting professor
are the 2002 winners of the Roger Martin and Nancy Lang Awards for Excellence in Research and Teaching at the Rotman
School of Management.
Brian Silverman, associate professor of strategic management, receives the Roger Martin and Nancy Lang Award for
Excellence in Research. His stellar career has rapidly won him international recognition for his work at the
intersection of strategy and economics and he regularly publishes in the leading academic journals in his field.
He also combines this excellence in research with great success in the classroom in the Rotman School's MBA programs.
Prof. Silverman first joined the Rotman School in 1995. He rejoined the School in 2001 after a three-year term at
Harvard Business School.
Joseph D'Cruz, professor of strategic management, is a co-winner of the Roger Martin and Nancy Lang Award for
Excellence in Teaching. Prof. D'Cruz has been a leader at the Rotman School in the area of executive education
for many years developing several innovative programs. He created and served as academic director of the
Global Executive MBA Program from 1998 to 2001. He currently serves as director of the Aerospace Executive
Management Program, Police Leadership Program, and Health Care Executive Programs.
Joel Amernic, professor of accounting, is a co-winner of the Roger Martin & Nancy Lang Award for Excellence
in Teaching. Prof. Amernic has an outstanding teaching record over many years, most recently in the U of T's
Commerce program. He has also won awards for his teaching in the Rotman School's MBA programs. Through his
participation at the program, faculty and university levels, he is an advocate of curriculum innovation,
and has written extensively on issues of pedagogy in accounting education.
The awards were established in 1999 by a generous donation to the Rotman School by Dean Roger Martin and his
wife, Nancy Lang. The purpose of the awards is to recognize and encourage the research and teaching activities
of faculty members at the Rotman School.
Recently ranked by The Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek among the best business schools in the world,
the University of Toronto's Joseph L. Rotman School of Management offers leading-edge research and degree
programs, including the prestigious Rotman Full-Time MBA and Part-Time MBA programs, the One-Year MBA for
