    Management education and training have become highly popular. Yet,
    there is not a systematic body of management knowledge to explain how
    Indian firms operate and why some have achieved phenomenal results.
    Existing evidence shows that management practices imported from
    outside have not been effective in India. How Indian companies and the
    Indian workforce in aggregate are able to sustain the levels of
    performance over the past several years remains an intellectual puzzle
    that begs for a scholarly explanation. It is the wish to solve this
    intellectual puzzle and to fill this knowledge gap that seeded the
    idea for the International Association for Indian Management Research
    (IAIMR).

    IAIMR aims to promote, facilitate, and advance the field of Indian
    management research by scholars both inside and outside India. IAIMR
    will be the bridge that links management scholars around the globe
    with India as a common interest. It will provide a forum for the
    intellectual exchange, mutual learning, and collective pursuit of
    questions about firm behavior and individual behavior within firms in
    the rapidly changing Indian landscape. Knowledge generated will be
    useful not only to broaden the effective management of firms in India
    but also, more importantly, contribute to the body of management
    knowledge globally. IAIMR will be the instrument to facilitate and
    promote international collaboration in the intellectual development of
    India-centric management research that will add significant value to
    global knowledge.

    IAIMR is a professional, academic organization to serve scholars,
    students, managers, and consultants who are interested in advancing
    knowledge about management of organizations operating in the Indian
    context. The primary goal of the organization is to promote scholarly
    studies of organization and management of firms in the Indian context.
