"As business changes, & business education changes, sharing best practices is really important. AOM enables and drives that sharing of best practices, lessons learned, and educational innovations. Terrific business profs congregate at its conferences and it’s a leading venue and association for them to do this."

"AOM membership has been fundamental in walking me through the process of going from rookie PhD student to author. A key role in that process is, in my view, the Annual Meeting. Each AOM meeting is a tremendous opportunity to learn the cutting edge state of the field of management research, both in terms of theory and methods. That learning opportunity not only allows scholars to stay abreast with the latest developments, but also to see, at a glance, where the field is most wanting and needs improvement. This is a crucial source of inspiration for meaningful academic contributions."

“Doing the virtual interview was strange but comfortable. It's hard to get a sense of the people and place without being there in person but doing the interview at home had its advantages. There were more "backstage" opportunities to prepare myself and "turn off" for a minute. If I were interviewing in person, I would be doing that in a bathroom or in a corner somewhere. At home, I could snuggle with my cat in between meetings.”

“I think the job market is always inherently stressful because it requires us to try on different versions of the future. We have to picture ourselves in different cities, with different colleagues, taking on different projects etc.  And no matter how well it goes, the process generally requires us to let go of some versions of the future to which we’ve grown attached.”

“…I wasn't very optimistic about the success we would have with this year's AOM Virtual Career Fair. However, once we started having our information meetings (and we had over 24 meetings), we were pleasantly surprised with our virtual career booth and the quality of candidates that we were able to connect with. Thanks.”

"The Specialized Conference Initiative… is a great initiative because it's a smaller-sized conference, which helps to off-set the scale that can be kind of daunting of the Academy of Management Annual Meeting and really give people the opportunity to interact on small-scale, more intimate settings which provides certain benefits that you wouldn't have in large conferences."

Uriel Stettner

"The specialized conference initiative of the Academy of Management is an alternative approach to creating high-quality conferences. What is different about the initiative is that it is targeted at smaller audiences that are more targeted with specific teams. They take place in smaller venues and provides the opportunity for more in-depth, one-on-one meetings and discussions around a specific field or subject area."

“What makes the Academy of Management different for me than other organizations is that over the years, I’ve had the opportunity, both at the conferences and between conferences, to carry on important dialogues, [and] to build relationships. It’s been very instrumental for my career development, and I’ve also had the chance to mentor others in the field of management.”

"I have experienced several highlights from the AOM membership.... The most important is probably that I during the 1990s was invited to contribute to the internationalization of the Academy. Through this work I got to know many of the fantastic leaders of our community. More recently, it is definitely a highlight to be invited to contribute to developing the future of AOM and our scholarly values by being a member of the AOM board of governors. It is a major responsibility for the members of the AOM board of governors to contribute to sustainable and impactful scholarly values."

“I've always believed that there is a social life to ideas. We can write our brilliant ideas into great papers, but for ideas to be impactful, people have to read the papers, play with our ideas, write papers, and expand on our insights. AOM Insights helps us to make sure that our ideas are not languishing in a dusty library, but are living and breathing in powerful conversations among our colleagues, and are able to have a greater impact. For us, AOM Insights helped us to take our ideas about paradoxes and paradox mindsets and get more people to engage with and build on these insights.”

“I have been fortunate to have three of my recent articles summarized and promoted through AOM Insights. The Insights team has done a great job of not only faithfully capturing the studies' key ideas and findings, they have also shown great ingenuity in developing interesting hooks to grab the interest of non-academic audiences. I appreciate that they have made efforts to put us in touch with their PR team and promote our work, as well as provide materials helpful in my institution's own promotion efforts. I think AOM Insights has been of great benefit to AOM members by creating a channel through which our research can have greater influence outside of academia.” 

Sean R. Martin

“Summaries are well-written, clear and engaging, and supported by informative graphics and videos. No other competitor offers the academic depth provided by Insights. Such an approach would be welcomed by busy executives and managers, as well as by students and teachers, who would value the learning experience, as well as access to the scholarly background information.… Insights’ practical approach and links to actionable research lend credibility not otherwise present in the competition.”

“Preparing the Insights summary of our article with people at AOM made us think about the key messages of our article―what were the core things we really wanted to say―in new ways. It also got us an audience of more general readers who would probably never have encountered our work if it had stayed within the confines of an academic article.”

“To translate our work for broader audiences, AOM Insights has become a first-line broker for helping us tune-in our research for interests that go beyond journal readers.

“Social science matters, and we as social scientists have an obligation to share the fruits of our research with practitioners outside academia. Engaging with AOM Insights enables me to go the extra mile and reach out to practitioners to make a difference. The Insights summaries are concise and high-quality, and tailored to the needs of non-academic audiences. I welcome this platform as a facilitator of ideas and findings between academics and practitioners.” 

Dana Kanze

“With this particular paper, it was important for us to get our findings into the hands of those who stand to benefit. AOM Insights was able to help make this happen by distilling the research into takeaways that are palatable for a wide audience to digest.”

"The staff and volunteers with the Career Services Center at the Annual AOM meetings were incredible. They treated every question I had with personal attention. They helped me laugh when it was a clear I was anxious and they provided clear and actionable advice when I needed more direct feedback. Simply put, they created a space for me to be myself without feeling judged.

"AOM is globally the most influential professional association for management scholars. AOM has been a trendsetter for management research.... My AOM participation introduced me to devoted scholars with high experience in publishing in the premiere journals in our field. This gave me as a junior scholar advantages compared to my peers from Norway and many other European countries.... As scholars we do not only have a responsibility to ourselves. It is important that we nurture true scholarly values, and contribute both to the larger academic community as well as to the world around us. Being involved on a regular basis in scholarly associations as AOM, helps us see scholarship and the reality beyond what we see at our local universities."

"AOM has been by far my most important professional organization. Why? The networking, the opportunities, the annual meeting, the peer recognition for service.

"AOM has really made my career. I’ve met co-authors from all over the world as a result of the Annual Meeting. I’ve had publication opportunities across the family of AOM journals. I’ve had opportunities to develop other authors’ work and in doing so, make me a stronger researcher. Probably most importantly, it’s built a community I feel a part of and where I can turn for advice, friendship and scholarly debate."
