President’s Message:

A Look Inside Our Invisible College

Scholars have been gathering to collect and advance their insights and discoveries since at least the time of the Renaissance. The Academia Secretorum Naturae, for example, was established in Naples 450 years ago. Conceived in 1936, the Academy of Management is a professional association marked by high purpose.

Green Management Matters for AOM Operations
 Mark Starik and Gordon Rands

The Academy of Management, like most organizations, both relies upon and influences natural environments on an on-going basis. A number of academic theories and professional practices have been suggested regarding the interaction of such organizations with their natural environments. 

The reception held in Chicago to celebrate the release of the latest issue of the Annals, Volume 3, was a huge success!   Dozens of Academy members came to the Taylor & Francis booth in the Exhibit Hall to enjoy tea and cake while learning about the exciting new content in the Annals! 

 

The Academy of Management Headquarters Staff would like to thank those members who visited the Green Booth in Chicago and made the switch to electronic-only for their journal delivery.  According to the Environmental Defense Fund calculator , members that used the Green Booth in Chicago will help the Academy and the environment in just one year to save approximately:

Dare to Care: Passion and Compassion in Management Practice and Research

What does the Meeting Theme mean: The theme of the 2010 meeting in Montreal is to encourage members of the Academy of Management to consider the role of “caring，passion, and compassion ” in our activities of teaching, research, service, and practice.

DARE TO CARE: PASSION AND COMPASSION IN MANAGEMENT PRACTICE AND RESEARCH

The 2009 Annual Meeting brought forth many new elements with the objective of adding more value for our members.  We created a more efficient program by allocating two full days of program time (Friday and Saturday) for the PDW Program, and standardizing the time blocks for the Scholarly Sessions (Monday and Tuesday).
 

Montréal, August 6-10, 2010:
