2022 Presidential Address: This Is Our Celebration

Abstract

The Academy of Management (AOM) has emerged from the pandemic strongly because we are an engaged, caring, and committed global community of 20,000 members residing in 115 countries—including 5,600 student members. I describe four broad themes considered most critical by AOM members and initiatives addressing each: (a) environmental sustainability, (b) inclusion, (c) research credibility, and (d) research usefulness and impact. Given the accomplishments I describe, we celebrate our success. But, at the same time, we do not interrupt our journey. Rather, we continue to improve and to innovate to realize our vision to (a) remain the premier global community for management and organization researchers and educators and (b) continue advancing the impact of management and organization science on business and society worldwide.
