Welcome to the Academy of Management Review (AMR)

 

Mission Statement

The mission of the Academy of Management Review (AMR) is to publish new theoretical insights that advance our understanding of management and organizations. AMR is receptive to a variety of perspectives, including those seeking to improve the effectiveness of, as well as those critical of, management and organizations. Submissions to AMR must extend theory in ways that permit the development of testable knowledge-based claims. To do this, researchers can develop new management and organization theory, significantly challenge or clarify existing theory, synthesize recent advances and ideas into fresh, if not entirely new theory, or initiate a search for new theory by identifying and delineating a novel theoretical problem. The contributions of AMR articles often are grounded in "normal science disciplines" of economics, psychology, sociology, or social psychology as well as nontraditional perspectives, such as the humanities. AMR publishes novel, insightful and carefully crafted conceptual work that challenges conventional wisdom concerning all aspects of organizations and their roles in society.

2011 Presidential Address: "We @ AOM"

The 2011 Presidential Address "We @ AOM" is a return to AOM’s old practice of reporting on the state of our organization, but with a new twist:  the 30-minute 2011 Presidential Address is available in video format.

To celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of AOM’s conception, the 2011 Presidential Address returns to the past practice of offering a report that provides members with information about AOM as an organization. Motivating the development of this year’s report was a simple desire: to promote greater understanding of our organization and the issues we face. With that objective in mind, the 2011 AOM Presidential Address covers the following topics:

  • Who founded AOM?
  • How have we evolved over time: Who are we the members and where are we located?
  • How are we organized, formally and informally?
  • What can you do to increase the likelihood of having your scholarly paper accepted for presentation at the AOM annual conference?
  • What does an AOM career look like throughout its four stages of “getting started,” “striving,” “established, and “old dog”?
  • How does AOM collaborate with other similar organizations, such as the India Academy of Management and the Africa Academy of Management?
  • What actions do we take to show our commitment to our stated values (e.g., cultivating ethical and responsible behavior, respecting multiple perspectives, building cooperative relationships with other associations, and promoting high-quality research, teaching and practice)?
  • AOM has begun to produce and distribute educational videos: How can you access the videos, and how might you use them?

Whether you are a new AOM member or you have been a member for several decades, consider using these resources to obtain more information about topics addressed in the "We @ AOM" video. A complete list of websites for resources mentioned in this video can be found in the April 2012 issue of Academy of Management Review.
