- Value [1] Member Needs and Services
- The Academy will focus its efforts and resources primarily on serving the needs of its members as related to research, teaching
and practice. Academy members are diverse, and their needs for professional development, training, and expression change over
time and differ by professional interests and career stages. Current and future needs of members for the Academy as a whole
and for each Division and Interest Group should be ascertained frequently and used as the primary criterion for deciding what
initiatives and activities to undertake.
- Value [2] Quality, Breadth, and Relevance of Scholarship
- The Academy seeks to advance excellence in scholarship, broadly defined to include research, teaching, and practice. Knowledge
advancements in each of these domains are important, and we should not limit ourselves to one domain. We view research as
central to informing both teaching and practice, while teaching and practice also inform research. We should always keep in
mind that our collective and individual scholarship should remain relevant, responsible, and make a valuable contribution
to society and its institutions. We need to find ways to build closer links between research and practice in considering issues
of importance to practitioners and in improving the frequency and clarity of our communication with them. We should also link
with other organizations and individuals who contribute importantly to management knowledge.
- Value [3] Growth and Diversity
- The Academy seeks growth in the development and enrichment of its members, not growth in membership or revenues for their
own sake. While most Academy members are academics, we seek and encourage members from all walks of life who are interested
in advancing the scholarship of management knowledge.
- Value [4] Global Perspective
- The Academy is a member of the global and pluralistic profession of management scholarship. Attention to global issues and
concerns is encouraged among all members of the Academy. The Academy fosters alliances with other international and country/region-specific
associations that advance a variety of approaches to management scholarship. We value the contributions and multiple perspectives
of members from all countries and regions.
