The Iberoamerican Academy of Management (IAOM)[1] is an academic professional association dedicated to promoting management research and education in Ibero-America. IAOM was founded in 1997 as an affiliate of the Academy of Management.[2] The first president and founder was Luis Gómez-Mejía. IAOM's inaugural conference was held in 1999 in Madrid, Spain, hosted by the Charles III University of Madrid. The organisation aims to stimulate research on management relevant to Iberoamerican countries and enhance networking among management scholars across the region.

A major milestone for IAOM was the launch in 2003 of its official academic journal, Management Research, published by Emerald Group Publishing.[3]

History[edit]

IAOM was founded in 1997 through a series of meetings held by management scholars active in the Academy of Management with strong links to Iberoamerican countries. The first president was Luis R. Gomez-Mejia (Arizona State University). The IAoM is a cornerstone institution for the field of management, particularly within the Iberoamerican region which encompasses Latin America, Latino communities in North America, Spain, and Portugal. Its mission is to foster the development of management knowledge, both in theory and practice, with a special focus on this culturally and geographically diverse area. The IAoM achieves this through various channels including the publication of the Management Research journal, hosting international conferences, and its affiliation with the Academy of Management.

In IAOM's early years, the organization functioned mainly as a series of conferences and meetings for management professors to connect, share research, and promote the field across Latin America, Spain, Portugal and the United States. It plays a crucial role in connecting Latin American researchers with their international counterparts, especially beneficial for those trained in the U.S. or Europe but residing in Latin America, termed as "boundary spanners."[4] At the heart of current IAoM's efforts is the biannual conference, a significant event that offers ample networking and collaborative opportunities for researchers and students alike. The 9th conference held in Santiago, Chile, featured a notable "Meeting with the Editors" session led by Herman Aguinis, at the time the President of the IoAM and the John F. Mee Chair of Management at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.[5] [6] This session highlighted the organization's commitment to aiding the academic community in producing quality research and navigating the challenges of publication in peer-reviewed journals. Aguinis, recognized for his contributions to the field with the Academy of Management's Research Methods Division Distinguished Career Award, emphasizes the importance of diversity and globalization in management practices.[7]

The Academy plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between scholars from traditional countries (TC) and non-traditional countries (NTC), making it an essential platform for those interested in conducting research in Latin America or on topics relevant to the Iberoamerican context.[8] It facilitates cross-border academic interactions through digital platforms like ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and AoM Connect, and organizes professional development workshops and social hours that are vital for fostering professional relationships and collaborative projects without the need for physical travel.[9]

Additionally, the IAoM supports professional development through initiatives such as consortia for junior faculty and professional development workshops on international publishing and career development, positioning itself alongside major academic groups like the Academy of Management and the Strategic Management Society in fostering international academic interactions.[10]

Members of the organization has also been involved in discussions and initiatives beyond the academic sphere, such as the Urgent Consideration Law (LUC) in Uruguay which proposes significant reforms in the management of public companies,[11] as well as collaboration between industry and academia to seek the greates efficiency of companies run by the State.[12] Furthermore, the IAoM has been a platform for the dissemination of significant contributions to the field, such as the globally launched book "A Research Agenda for International Entrepreneurship" by Christian Felzensztein and Sascha Fuerst, marking a notable advancement in the field of international entrepreneurship.[13]

Under the leadership of prominent scholars in the of management and through its various activities and initiatives, the Iberoamerican Academy of Management continues to be a pivotal force in enhancing management research and practice within the Iberoamerican region and beyond, contributing to the global discourse on management and business studies.[14]
