"2021 has made it clear that research, teaching, and serving our profession is more critical than in any time in the past. Increasing uncertainty and change makes it more important than ever that we focus on the manager in management research, and our 2021 theme invites members and attendees to advance our field," said Amy Hillman, AOM Vice President and Program Chair from Arizona State University.

Top global management and organization scholars will reveal their latest research findings informing today's most important issues impacting the workplace and organizations, notably spanning COVID-19's impact on the workforce and entrepreneurship insights.

"Having both observed and experienced disruption in how work is done, we are meeting our moment to inspire and enable a better world through our teaching and scholarship. As a community of scholars, we have an opportunity to use our professional expertise, learned experiences, and collective insights to address our most pressing business and societal challenges. This year's meeting provides a forum for us to do so by continuing to push spatial, temporal, cultural and other boundaries and strengthen our connections to amplify our scholarly voices and advance the impact of our science," said Quinetta M. Roberson, AOM President and John A. Hannah Distinguished Professor of Management and Psychology at Michigan State University.
