Dear members and friends of the IM Division”
We are proud members of an international community of scholars committed to scientific rigor and free discourse. As emphasized in the AoM Board Statement [LINK: https://www.aom.org/about-aom/governance/policies/aom-statement-on-academic-freedom-scientific-inquiry-and-scholarly-exchange/] released in April 2025.
“The Academy of Management affirms its unwavering commitment to academic freedom, scientific inquiry, and the open exchange of ideas. We unequivocally condemn any action threatening these values as they are foundational to our mission and essential to the advancement of global scholarship in management and organizations.
Recent policy developments in the United States and in various parts of the world, including executive orders, legislative restrictions, and institutional constraints, have fomented a growing climate of uncertainty and concern for many of our members. Although these actions differ in form and scope, they share a common consequence: the restriction of academic freedom, which in turn jeopardizes scholars' abilities to conduct research, teach, and collaborate across borders and disciplines.”
We are engaged in scholarly exchanges throughout the year and meet at the annual conference of the AoM. In 2026, the conference will be held in Philadelphia from July 31 to August 4. Please browse this website to find out about activities in the Division. We look forward to you joining our conversations.

IM Division Chair
