The IAOM’s mission is to foster the advancement of knowledge in the theory and practice of management among Iberoamerican scholars and those interested in Iberoamerican issues – Iberoamerica is defined broadly to include all Latin America, Spain, Portugal, and the Latino populations in North America.
🌐 🗄️ Knowledge resources
Two new resources are available on the website of the Iberoamerican Academy of Management, the Scholarly Associations database, with information about other management organizations that could share a common interest or focus with the members of the IAoM, and the Doctoral Programs database, containing a list of management doctoral programs in Iberoamerica and beyond. Both databases are searchable – users can search by country or keyword, and it is also possible to apply the available filters to sort programs by discipline, for example.
