Global Award winners are selected according to the same model as the Nobel Prizes, which implies that researchers in the field all around the world are free to nominate candidates. After an individual evaluation procedure, the decision about each year’s winner is taken by a committee consisting of six Swedish professors of economics and business administration. The partners behind the prize are The Swedish Entrepreneurship Forum, The Research Institute of Industrial Economics, Stockholms Köpmannaklubb and Vinnova.
