The Iberoamerican Academy of Managament (IAM) is pleased to issue a call for proposals to host its biannual international meeting to take place in December 2017 and December 2019. This conference series has been instrumental in promoting cross-country research, collaboration between scholars, and facilitating dialogue between scholars and practitioners.
