    Call for Submissions to the AOM 2023 annual conference at Boston

    The International Management (IM) Division invites submissions of papers and symposia for the scholarly program of the 2023 Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting. The meeting will be held in Boston, MA from 4 August to 8 August 2023. AOM has announced that the conference will be entirely in-person with all sessions hosted in Boston. The theme for the 2022 Annual Meeting is Putting the Worker Front and Center. The theme should be particularly salient to our division members, given that the global pandemic and the broad societal unrest of the last couple of years have drastically changed the world's societal structure and how managers and organizations operate across borders.

     

    The IM Division supports the Academy in advancing knowledge in the field of international management. The conference theme invites us to consider how businesses and organizations operating across borders and cultures can contribute to creating a better world. It is also an opportunity to consider how theories of international management can shed light on these challenges and whether they need to be revised or integrated with theoretical lenses from other fields. We invite submissions of paper and symposium proposals that contribute to the overall theme of this year's meeting or questions and issues distinctive of the international management field. Paper and symposium proposals could contribute to the overall theme by addressing questions such as 1) What skills will business organizations and managers operating across borders and cultures need to compete globally? 2) How can multinationals manage their global operations to remain competitive in times of uncertainty? 3) How can multinationals integrate responsible conduct in their global strategy? 4) How does the portfolio of market and non-market strategies of global corporations need to be adjusted to respond to the pressing societal challenges? We also welcome paper and symposia submissions related to any of the topics within the domain of international management such as the cross-border management of operations, including multi-country, multi-unit, strategy formulation, and implementation; evolving forms and management practices in cross-border business; the cross-border differential impact of cultural, social, economic, technological, political, and other institutional forces on strategies, organizational forms, and management practices; the international competitiveness of firms, industries, and nations; and comparative management studies involving two or more countries.
