Note: 2002 was the first year of the Jeffrey Z. Rubin Theory-To-Practice Award. IACM is alternating the Rubin Award with the Lifetime Achievement Award. The next Lifetime Achievement Award winner will be announced at the 2007 Annual Meeting.
2005 - Evert Van de Vliert
Evert van de Vliert received the IACM Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003. Dr. van de Vliert is Professor of Organizational and Applied Social Psychology at the University of Groningen. He received his doctoral degree in social psychology in 1967 from the University of Utrecht, and his PhD in social science from Free University (The Netherlands) in 1973. During his tenure at the Free University, where he advanced to Associate Professor, he spent a year as a lecturer in Psychology at St. Andrews University, Scotland, and two years as a Professor of Organizational Psychology at the Royal Military Academy in Breda, The Netherlands. Van de Vliert joined the faculty at the University of Groningen in 1987 and will retire from there this year.
Van de Vliert's research interests can be roughly divided into three interrelated streams of work. His early work on role theory, among the first to be published in peer reviewed English language journals, is widely viewed as helping build the strong international reputation of Dutch social and organizational psychology. His prolific work on social conflict includes innovative work on the effectiveness of conglomerated conflict management, on the contagiousness of gain-loss framing in negotiation, on exit options in negotiation, on demand-withdrawal tendencies in marital conflict, and on the role of interdependence in how task versus relationship conflict influences team effectiveness. In recent years Evert has added a third stream of inquiry, that on cross-cultural differences in organizational behavior. In international journals Evert's vita lists 38 first author publications, 37 co-authored publications, 4 edited books, 26 book chapters, and his authored book Complex interpersonal conflict behavior (Psychology Press). In Dutch journals he lists 40 first authored papers, 23 co-authored papers, 5 authored or edited books, and 34 book chapters.
2003 - Daniel Druckman
Daniel Druckman received the IACM Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003. Dr. Druckman has been the Vernon M. and Minnie I. Lynch Professor of Conflict Resolution at George Mason University and former coordinator of the doctoral program at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution. He is presently a professor in the Department of Public and International Affairs at George Mason and at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. He is also a member of the faculty at Sabanci University in Istanbul Turkey and has held a number of visiting appointments around the world. Dan is known for his multi-faceted and innovative research in the areas of international negotiation and conflict resolution, nationalism, peacekeeping, human performance enhancement, group processes, non-verbal communication, and modeling methodologies, including simulation. The impact of his work has crossed academic disciplines by combining theory and application into workable frameworks that are used by government and private enterprise alike. One of these frameworks utilizes research findings for developing negotiation skills and has been used in training workshops conducted on four continents.
Dr. Druckman earned his Ph.D. at Northwestern University in the field of Social Psychology with interdisciplinary work in International Relations and Sociology. His doctoral dissertation on simulated collective bargaining was awarded a best-in-field prize from the American Institutes for Research, setting the stage for a prolific career of precedent setting research. His work on nationalism, an interest developed also in graduate school, received the Klineberg International and Intercultural Relations award from the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, a division of the American Psychological Association. He has also received a teaching excellence award, a best article award (2001), an outstanding book award (2006), and a best applied paper award (2006) from IACM. Among his 160 publications to date are 14 authored or edited books. He is an associate editor or member of the board on eight Journals.

2000 - Dr. Elise Boulding
Dr. Elise Boulding received the IACM Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2000 conference in St. Louis, Missouri. She is Professor Emerita and former Chair of the Department of Sociology and head of the Peace Studies Program at Dartmouth College.
Dr. Boulding is a noted sociologist and pioneer in the peace studies movement. She has been credited with being among the first to help launch the broad, citizen-based efforts for peace that developed in the 1950s. Born in Oslo, Norway, she is the widow of Kenneth Boulding, mother of five children, grandmother of sixteen and a member of the Society of Friends. She has served as Secretary-General of the International Peace Research Association, has been a Nobel Prize nominee. A scholar-activist, she was international chair of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in the late 1960s, and has served on the board of the United Nations University, the International jury of the NESCO Prize for Peace Education, and was a member of the commission recommending the establishment in Congress of a U.S. Peace Institute.
Dr. Boulding's approach to peace studies and the abolition of war is a family-centered, culture-oriented approach that looks to nongovernmental organizations as important catalysts for change. History, she contends, shows that deterrence doesn't work. Further, she argues, war socializes people into more aggressive behavior. What we need, the noted sociologist contends, is to teach people to live nurturantly with one another and earth. We must teach people to "deal creatively with their differences and share their resources."
1999 - Howard Raiffa
Howard Raiffa, Professor Emeritus at the Harvard Business School, received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the IACM's conference in 1999. Raiffa earned his Ph.D. in mathematics at the university of Michigan in 1951. He began his academic career with an appointment in mathematical statistics at Columbia University, where he wrote "Games and Decisions" (1957, with Luce). Shortly after that book's publication, he moved to Harvard, accepting a joint appointment in the Department of Statistics and the Graduate School of Business Administration. Before taking emeritus status, Raiffa held the Frank P. Ramsey chair in managerial economics - a chair sponsored jointly by the Harvard Business School and the Kennedy School of Government.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Raiffa helped create the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, which was sponsored by 16 different Academies of Science. From 1972-1975 he served as the Austria-based Institute's first director. He is the author, co-author, or editor of many widely respected books. Perhaps best know to many IACM members is "The Art and Science of Negotiation" (1982), which is still in print and widely used in negotiation courses in schools of business and law, among others. In 1985 the book won the Melamed Prize from the university of Chicago Business School, which honors the most significant published work by a business school faculty member in the preceding two years.
Raiffa has been honored with the Frank P. Ramsey medal for outstanding contributions to the field of decision analysis by the Operations research Society of America, and with the Distinguished Contributions Award from the Society of Risk Analysis. He has been awarded honorary doctorates by Carnegie Mellon, the University of Michigan, Northwestern University, and Ben Gurion University of the Negev.

In 1994, Robert Blake received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his pioneering work and prolific career in the field of Conflict Management. Dr. Blake received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin where he continued as a professor. In 1961, he co-founded Scientific Methods, Inc. with Dr. Jane S. Mouton, and in 1964 he left academia to pursue a career with this firm. He has served as consultant for governments, industries, and universities in 40 countries and instituted an early Organizational Development effort in a major corporation, Exxon, where he and Dr. Mouton perfected their well-known Managerial Grid approach to organizational and leadership development (described in their book, The Managerial Grid). Dr. Blake is the author of numerous books on management, training, and conflict, including the classic, Managing Intergroup Conflict In Industry (1964).
In his wide-ranging address, Dr. Blake noted that conflict within organizations can be healthy. He observed that the company that is most at risk for failure is that company that has recently experienced great success. Success often results in a lack of discussion and a lack of health conflict because the decision makers assume that they already know the correct way to do things.
1993 - Morton Deutsch
