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

Our Members
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.
