A curated opportunity for institutions and scholars to access exclusive AOM resources, build global connections, and strengthen regional academic communities—designed to support management scholars from historically underrepresented regions.
About the Community Accelerator Program
The Community Accelerator Program (CAP) emerged from AOM’s Vision 2030 to connect scholars, institutions, and ideas that had long been underrepresented in our community. CAP is building bridges across continents, strengthening local and regional schools, research centers, and scholarly associations, and expanding the global reach of management scholarship.
When we open our doors wider, we don’t just bring new members in; we expand our body of knowledge, enhance our impact, and elevate the entire field.

The Silk Road Initiative
The Academy of Management’s Community Accelerator Program (CAP) is pleased to launch The Silk Road Initiative, a new effort designed to foster deeper scholarly engagement with emerging academic communities along the historic Silk Road corridor—beginning with Central Asia. This initiative seeks to amplify research voices from the region, strengthen global academic networks, and promote high-impact organizational and management scholarship that reflects the diversity of contexts across the globe.
This initiative will start with a two-day workshop in Almaty, Kazakhstan, bringing together editors from all Academy of Management journals along with scholars and doctoral students from across Central Asia. The workshop aims to serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, capacity building, and the elevation of management research from and about the region.
