About the IM Division


The general objective of the International Management Division of the Academy of Management is to promote scholarship and advances in the field of international business, including management in a broad range of both profit and nonprofit organizations. The Division brings together a global community of scholars researching and teaching management themes with a cross-border or cross-cultural dimension, including not only traditional management topics, but also the contribution of management to addressing evolving global social and environmental challenges. Scholarship that focuses on a single country and has no international issues or implications is not within the purview of the IM division. 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.

Dear IM Division Members,

Welcome to the International Management Division website! 

We are in the process of beginning to prepare for the 2025 Annual Meeting in Copenhagen, July 25-29. Program Chair Ilya Cuypers and Professional Development Workshop (PDW) Chair Srividya Jandhyala are working hard at building the IM Division’s conference program. Please look out for more information on the meeting over the next couple of months to start planning your papers, symposia, and PDW proposal submissions. At the annual meeting, the IM Division designates Best Paper Awards in each of eight different research areas and topics in IM. The finalists are chosen from papers accepted into the IM Division’s program. As part of the effort to enhance the IM Division’s program, please consider signing up to review for the conference. The IM Division recognizes outstanding reviews in the form of Best Reviewer Awards.

The IM Division’s Committees are also working on an exciting calendar of online events during the forthcoming months. Stay tuned and follow us on the Division’s social media channels, Facebook and LinkedIn

I want to particularly recognize and thank everyone who contributed to the AOM Conference in Chicago, August 9-13, 2024. Hopefully, the conference provided you the opportunity to connect, network and catch up with other scholars. The 2024 conference theme of Innovating for the Future: Policy, Purpose and Organizations was indeed thought-provoking and sparked a lot of interest and discussions throughout the conference sessions at Chicago.

I particularly want to thank Program Chair Klaus Meyer and Professional Development Workshop (PDW) Chair Ilya Cuypers, key individuals in putting together the IM Division’s program. We are extremely grateful for their work. As part of the PDW line-up were the IM Division sponsored events – Doctoral Student Consortium (co-chaired by Jing Li and Charlie Stevens), Junior Faculty Consortium (co-chaired by Joao Albine-Pimentel and Srividya Jandhyala), Paper Development Workshop (co-chaired by Daphne Yiu and Pei Sun) and Meet-the-Editors session (chaired by Stephanie Wang). I want to thank you all in your role as organizers, panelists, participants, and members of the audience for making the PDW program a great success!

Klaus Meyer had the huge task of putting together the IM Division’s scholarly program, including symposia and paper sessions, covering a vast array of topics in the domain of International Management. The IM Division program featured 196 papers organized in 49 sessions, and 22 IM-led symposia. Some highlights of the program included eight paper sessions featuring finalists for the best paper awards in different categories as well as the D’Amore-McKim Northeastern University Best Dissertation Award. An innovation at this past conference was IM Division Plenary, which featured recipients of the Professional Awards.

The winners of our division’s Professional Achievement Awards in 2024 were Yadong Luo (IM Division Hyundai Motor Eminent Scholar Award), Elizabeth Rose (IM Division Outstanding Service to the Global Community Award), Nakiye Boyacigiller (IM Division AmorePacific Outstanding Educator Award), and Jackson Lu (IM Division FIU Business Emerging Scholar Award). These award recipients were in addition to the winners of the paper and dissertation awards. 

The IM Division runs through the efforts of a remarkably large number of volunteers. Treasurer Malika Richards does an amazing job of watching over our division’s finances and serving as a key interface with AOM Headquarters. Antonina Bauman, our Communications Officer does a lot of work behind the scenes, overseeing the outward-looking face of our division (and keeping the rest of us in line – no easy task, indeed!). The IM Division owes huge debts of gratitude to all members of our various committees, which are chaired by Bill Newburry (Professional Awards Committee), Randi Lunnan (Research Awards), Joao Albino-Pimentel (Dissertation), Carl Fey (Teaching), Alex Settles (Membership Drive), Denise Dunlap (Scholarship and Engagement), Noman Shaheer (Research Methods) and Afshin Hamrabadi (Doctoral Student). I also want to welcome incoming Committee Chairs for the new year: Stephanie Wang (Research Awards) and Sorin Krammer (Scholarship and Engagement). If you are interested in joining this group of wonderful IM Division volunteers, please let EC members know or contact committee chairs.

There is another key set of volunteers… the IM Division Executive Committee. For this coming year, I have the great pleasure of working with Grazia Santangelo, Klaus Meyer, Ilya Cuypers and Srividya Jandhyala as EC members. We also recognize Bill Newburry, who just rotated off the Executive Committee after serving for the past five years. Thank you, Bill, for your service to AOM’s IM community!

We could not accomplish this much without our generous sponsors. We are deeply grateful to AmorePacific, CEIBS, Florida International U., George Washington U. CIBER, Georgetown U. McDonough School of Business, Hong Kong U. of Science and Technology, Hyundai Motor, Northeastern U. D’Amore-McKim School of Business, and the U. of South Carolina for their support of various awards. Thank you so much to all of our sponsors!

Last – but certainly not least – I want to acknowledge the IM Division members from around the world, who contribute in a myriad of ways, from submitting and presenting their ideas, to serving as reviewers, to helping create the community that characterizes our Division.

Thank you, and see you in Copenhagen!

With best regards,

Nandini Lahiri
IM Division Chair
