About the
Academy of Management

The Academy of Management brings together scholars worldwide to advance management science.
Guided by our values, we foster a dynamic, inclusive and supportive community, amplify diverse voices, and bridge research with real-world impact.

Our Story

Since 1936, AOM has supported researchers, educators, and executives in producing impactful scholarship—spanning people, organizations, strategy, theory, and practice—that advances how we lead, work, and manage.

From its first Annual Meeting of just 24 scholars to today’s global community of 20,000+ members across 120 countries, AOM fosters a dynamic, inclusive space where diverse voices connect, collaborate, and shape the future of management and organizational science.

Member Spotlights

Explore the achievements and initiatives of AOM members shaping research, practice, and teaching in management.

After joining AOM, I quickly realized that whatever your research interests might be, there is likely to be a community out there that is also excited about the same topic as you. I have met people through AOM who are now my close friends and colleagues.
