Professor Alain Pinsonneault receives James McGill Professor award
Dr. Pinsonneault is one of 19 senior McGill faculty members who received the James McGill Professor award in the 2005 competition.
The key objective of McGill's James McGill Professor (for senior faculty) and William Dawson Scholar (for junior faculty) awards program is to advance and support the scholarship and research of exceptional academic staff in priority areas of intellectual interest.
Previous McGill Faculty of Management members who received the James McGill Professor award distinction are Laurette Dubé (2003) and Frances Westley (2001).
Congratulations are in order for both the award and its recognition of Dr. Pinsonneault's research on IT adoption, user adaptation, IT impacts, electronic brainstorming (EBS), E-commerce, ERP implementation, IT alignment, and IT in health care.
Dr. Pinsonneault exemplifies the scholar-teacher role that is vital to McGill as a research-intensive university — with his contributions to McGill's core teaching programs as well as the IMPM and McGill MBA Japan, and his contributions to the profession, including associate editor for the editorial board of MIS Quarterly, one of the Financial Times-ranked journals.
