International Management Division (IM)
2025 Division Scholarly Program: Call for Submissions
Program Chair: Ilya Cuypers, Singapore Management University
The International Management (IM) Division invites submissions of papers and symposia for the 85th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management (AOM 2025) held in person in Copenhagen 25-29 July 2025.
The International Management (IM) Division of the Academy of Management brings together a global community of scholars researching and teaching management themes with a cross-border or cross-cultural dimension. These include the influence of the context (e.g., geopolitical and technological changes) on international management and the contribution of management to addressing global social and environmental challenges. Members of the IM community conduct research on themes such as:
- the cross-border management of operations, including multi-country, multi-unit, strategy formulation, and implementation;
- the cross-border differential impact of cultural, social, economic, technological, political, and other institutional forces on strategies, organizational forms, and management practices;
- evolving forms and management practices in cross-border business using physical and virtual channels supporting international business activities;
- the international competitiveness of entrepreneurs, firms, industries, and nations;
- comparative management studies involving two or more countries;
- the impact of multinational enterprises on the societies in which they operate, and their contribution to global challenges such as social inequalities and climate change.
To learn more about the IM Division, please visit our website.
Please consider submitting symposium proposals that explore any of these questions applying international perspectives and a variety of theoretical lenses. Symposia offer a great opportunity to examine interfaces by engaging in meaningful and highly interactive dialog among the panellists and with the audience. In addition, the AOM has launched a new submission type, i.e. poster submissions, which you might also want to consider for your scholarship.

Reviewing
If you submit a paper, we also expect you to serve as a reviewer. Please sign up! Select the IM Division and topic codes that reflect your areas of expertise. We will ask you to review about three submissions between mid-January and mid-February 2025, and to provide authors with thoughtful and constructive comments that are developmental in nature. The Division recognizes the best reviewers with Best Reviewer Awards. The 2025 Reviewer System will open in early December 2024. Thank you in advance!
With your excellent paper and symposium submissions, and your invaluable assistance with the reviewing process, we look forward to an informative and thought-provoking IM program. See you in Copenhagen in July 2025!
