Our ambassadors around the world!

Goals: The Academy of Management membership profile is at a significant point in its history, where more new members are from outside the US than within. In the near future, the majority of the total membership of AOM may be from outside the US. In this context, the HR Division seeks to integrate and engage its global membership, and to develop and disseminate knowledge that is relevant to management scholars operating both within and outside the U.S. context.

We have ambassadors representing over 50 countries around the world.
