The Academy of Management (AOM) is the largest global association devoted to management and organization research, with 20,000 members from more than 120 countries across six continents. AOM publishes several academic journals, organizes international conferences and provides forums for management professors and practitioners to exchange research, insights and ideas on the advancement of management and organization topics.

To support these objectives, RP and AOM launched the AOM Subject Matter Expert (SME) program, designed to boost member engagement and leverage expertise. This collaboration led to the creation of the “AOM Scholars On…” SME panel series, which brings together AOM scholars and business practitioners from across the globe to explore how research intersects with current business trends and the evolving landscape.
