Merieke was the recipient or runner-up for several awards, including the PMB best teacher award; the Journal of Operations Management Reviewer Service Award; the Industry Studies Association Giarratani Rising Star Award; the Institute for Supply Management Best Paper in Supply Chain Award; and the Cambridge Judge Business School Best Doctoral Paper Award.
