Meet the Editor

Incoming AMD Editor: Chet Miller

Chet Miller is the incoming Editor-in-Chief of Academy of Management Discoveries and a longstanding member of AOM. Chet is currently the C.T. Bauer Professor of Organizational Studies at the University of Houston and holds a BA and PhD from the University of Texas. Chet began working with new AMD manuscript submissions in July 2023 and officially begins his three-year tenure as editor on 1 January 2024, succeeding current Editor Kevin Rockmann.

“My vision for AMD involves staying the course with its existing, exciting mission while innovating in the ways we attract strong papers to the journal, including through our multimedia, social media, and workshop endeavors. For the next few years, I am hoping to find papers for AMD that not only have strong value for our scholarly community but also lend themselves to rich and immediate applications by practicing managers and executives.”

He first became a member of the AOM community in 1985 while obtaining his PhD from University of Texas at Austin, citing frequent visits to his school from Academy of Management Journal and Academy of Management Review editors as inspiration to join AOM. He recalls the excitement surrounding the Annual Meeting deadline, when members had to rush submissions to FedEx, “digital submissions weren’t yet a thing!”

“I think AOM is an organization where everyone can find a group that fits their interests and is warm and welcoming. I have had very positive experiences as a member of AOM. My decades-long involvement with the MOC division’s Cognition-in-the-Rough workshop has been nothing short of wonderful. My 19-year involvement with AMJ as an Associate Editor and ERB member has been more fun than I possibly could describe, and, yes, just a little work!”
