About the Academy of Management
Q: What is Management?
Q: Are Board minutes available to members?
Q: For individual role descriptions see:
President Elect
Vice President
Vice President Elect
Past President
Executive Director/Secretary-Treasurer
Q: How are Board meetings planned and conducted?
Care is given to preparing an agenda for each Board meeting that reflects the role of the Board as a strategic rather than an operational body. Generally, a Board agenda has three components:
Q: How are Board members elected or appointed?
Annually, in the fall, a "Call for Nominations" is sent electronically to all voting members. Members may nominate themselves or others for the four seats on the Board that become vacant each year: vice president elect and program chair elect and three representatives-at-large. The nominating committee, a standing committee of the Board, takes nominations into consideration when constructing the slate of candidates.
In the spring, all voting members select a new vice president elect and program chair elect from among three nominees and select three new representatives-at-large from among three nominees for each slot. The three representatives-at-large are nominated on the basis of activity in the divisions, activity in the affiliates, and potential leadership.
New officers and Board members, elected by May, officially assume their positions at the conclusion of the August annual meeting.

Nominations and Elections
Q: How can volunteer for or become chair of a committee?
Contact the chair if you are interested in joining or volunteering for a specific committee. The chair typically recruits new or additional committee members in the summer and early fall.
Most committee chairs are appointed by the Board and incoming president. A chair is usually chosen because they have experience in or previously served on a specific committee.
Q: How do the Board and its committees/task forces communicate outside of the meetings?
Q: How does the Board communicate its actions to members of the Academy?
Board actions are communicated through several routes:
Q: How is business brought to the attention of the Board?
Q: How is the Board of Governors structured?
The Board of Governors is comprised of 15 individuals, including the president, president elect, vice president and program chair, vice president elect and program chair elect, past president, nine representatives-at-large, all of whom are elected. The executive director and secretary-treasurer is an ex officio member.

Q: What are the responsibilities of Board members?
Serving as the elected representative of nearly 20,000 active members of a professional association is a weighty responsibility. Each year, the president assigns specific duties to each non-officer member of the Board. Common duties include:
Q: What are the roles of the officers?
Q: What are the terms of office?
The officer elected to the position of vice president elect and program chair elect typically holds a succession of positions on the Board for five years unless unseated in an election by a write-in candidate. The succession of the positions is as follows: vice president elect and program chair elect to vice president and program chair, vice president and program chair to president elect, president elect to president and finally president to past president.
Representatives-at-large serve staggered three-year terms.
Q: What are the types and roles of committees?
All committees and task forces operate under the direction of the Board of Governors. They are generally given responsibility for designing and operating an Academy service (such as placement ), making policy recommendations to the Board (a typical task force charge), or implementing Board-approved organizational initiatives (a typical theme committee charge).
There are three types of committees:
Proposals from committees are handled in the same manner as proposals from officers and others. See: How is business brought to the Board?.
Q: What is the role of a task force?
Q: What is the role of the Board liaison to a committee or task force?
The Board assigns members as liaisons to committees and task forces in an effort to improve its communication with key activity areas. The purpose of a liaison is to:
Q: What is the role of the Board of Governors?
Fundamentally, the Board is charged with seven key roles:
Statement of Strategic Direction
Affiliated and Associated Societies
News & Press
Q: When does the Board of Governors meet?
The Board meets three times a year, in August, December, and April.

Q: Who covers the cost of participating on the Board?
Q: How were the revised Code and standards developed?
Q: In summary, what are the basic differences between this newly adopted Code of Ethics and the previous one?
ETHICS Program
Code Content
Aspirational Principles
Code Boundaries
None. Broad aspirational scope.
Socialization / Contracting
- Voluntary adherence to code- Some policies & ethical expectations at operational levels (e.g., placement rules, author copyright transfer)
Ethics Education
Minimal to none.
Ethics Enforcement
- No code enforcement or formal sanctions.- Problem resolution handled informally after it occurs.- Some enforcement of policies having ethics implications (rejection of manuscripts for duplicate submission).- No coordinated approach to problem resolution or ethics violations.
Support Structure
- Historically one member of the board called Ethics Coordinator to "counsel" on ethics questions, typically non AOM matters.- Recent attempts to assemble a broader committee to infuse positive professional practice into the AOM.- Ethics Task Force recently charged with recommending a new approach to ethics in AOM
Q: Is the Academy experiencing many ethics problems?
Q: Is the Code of Ethics new?
Q: To whom does the revised Code apply?
Q: What are the basic policies and procedures for handling an ethics complaint?
Please review the full Policies and Procedures for Handling Charges of Ethical Standards Violations as well as related information located on the AOM Ethics web page. In summary, an Ombuds Committee serves as the receiver of all ethics inquiries. Visitors should file a formal ethics complaint with the Ethics Adjudication Committee that renders a decision and determines the best suitable course for resolving the matter. Sanctions may apply. However, if the evidence in the complaint is not deemed sufficient, complaints can be dismissed. An Ethics Committee of the Board of Governors is established to address matters of ethics strategy and Code development, and an Ethics Education Committee is charged with educating Academy members about the Code and serving as a catalyst for educational efforts throughout the Academy. The policies and procedures are guided by the following principles: predictable, transparent, impartial, democratic, confidential, efficient, and educative.
Q: What do we hope to achieve with a revised Code and ethics program?
We expect that a revised Code and ethics program will have these benefits:
Q: Why is this change being introduced?
Q: How do the divisions and interest groups work?
Q: What are divisions and interest groups?
Divisions provide disciplinary "home bases" for members with specific scholarly interests. They function like mini societies by encouraging scholarship, dissemination of information, and fellowship among persons of similar academic and professional interest. There are currently 26 professional divisions and interest groups the Academy governed by their respective memberships in conformance with Academy policies and bylaws.
Interest groups are formed around emerging trends in management thought and research, unlike the divisions, which represent established bodies of management knowledge. The research focus of interest groups is in areas where members are beginning to make or are likely to make scholarly contributions, whereas the research focus of divisions is firmly rooted; members are clearly and regularly making scholarly contributions and the body of scholarship has an independent record in scholarly books and journals and in application to the management field.

Each division offers a range of services tailored to their specific management discipline, including educational sessions, social events at the annual meeting, individual websites that include a vast array of resources such as professional development opportunities, recognition programs, and newsletter communication.Membership in two divisions and/or interest groups is included in the basic membership dues and are available to all membership categories.Additional divisions/interest groups can be added above the two complimentary selections at the time of renewal for a nominal fee of $11.00 USD per division; $7.00 USD per interest group.
Additions requested that fall mid-membership term can be completed by signing in to your My Profile and accessing the Academy Profile tab where a link is provided to add a Division/Interest group.
If you wish to simply switch one of your complimentary divisions outside of your renewal period, please complete the Division Change Request Form and email it to Member Services at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fees paid for additional divisions/interest groups that are added mid-membership term are not pro-rated.
Q: A) What is the mission of AMD?
The mission of Academy of Management Discoveries (AMD) is to promote the creation and dissemination of new empirical evidence that strengthens our understanding of substantively important yet poorly understood phenomena concerning management and organizations. AMD welcomes phenonmenon-driven research that employs quantitative and/or qualitative methods at any level of analysis (e.g., individuals, groups, organizations, industries, societies). The journal publishes articles presenting strong and persuasive evidence and provides readers clear and timely implications for understanding and improving management and organizations. Studies appearing in AMD could be used as a basis for theory development or theory-based empirical articles developed for other AOM journals.
Studies appropriate for publication in AMD provide:
Q: B) How does AMD differ from the
other AOM journals?
AMD's mission is
distinct from but complementary to the missions of other Academy of Management
publications. AMD focuses on reporting novel findings or unusual
empirical patterns in their particular indigenous contexts that are either not
adequately explained by current theory or that may play a critical role in
the development or testing of new theory. AMD welcomes papers that
highlight emergent phenomena or shed new light on phenomena of current
interest. AMD seeks discoveries that may subsequently influence the
generation, application and testing of theory appearing in other AOM
Papers describing empirical research intended to test
an existing theory and/or develop new theories should be submitted to the
Academy of Management Journal or Academy of Management
Review. Papers focusing on management learning or
management education should be sent to Academy of
Management Learning and Education. Papers written for
non-specialist academic readers or existing and future thought leaders should
be sent to Academy of Management Perspectives. Papers that
critically review longstanding streams of research should be sent to
Academy of Management Annals.
Q: C) Why was there a perceived need on the part of the
Board of Governors to launch AMD?
The decision to
launch AMD came about as a result of two largely independent
sources that identified a scholarly need for this journal, as well as an unmet
need within our membership. First, with respect to our membership, on November
9, 2010, the Board of Governors received a memo signed by 18 Chairs of AOM
Divisions and Interest Groups, requesting that AOM increase both the size and
scope of publication opportunities within AOM for members. This memo
articulated the need for expanded publication opportunities, and expressed
several possible solutions for meeting this need, including the launch of a
new empirically based journal along the lines of AMD.
memo was consistent with the data from a 2005 membership survey, in which 88%
of AOM members indicated that the most pressing need they had was for
"expanded opportunities to publish research within AOM." This response also
echoed a study conducted by the Board of Governors, which indicated that as a
professional society the AOM publishes a significantly lower percentage of
work by our members relative to other professional societies within business
schools, such as Finance, Accounting, and Marketing.
In terms of the
scholarly need, Don Hambrick (2007, AMJ) articulated why this type of
journal is necessary in the field of Management, and others have echoed this
call (see Miller 2007; Oxley, et al. 2010). The general idea expressed by
Hambrick and others is that the field of Management needs to strike a better
balance between theories on the one hand and direct empirical evidence on the
other. Hambrick recounts many examples in the physical and natural sciences,
as well as other disciplines in business, where reporting of critical
evidence led to important advances in problem solving and future theory
building, even when the immediate implications for current theories was
unclear. That is, a novel finding, unusual empirical pattern, or a robust
anomaly that cannot be explained by any current theory is reported, which in
turn triggers future theory building efforts. In addition, direct evidence
regarding relationships may promote Evidence-Based Management even if the full
theoretical articulation for explaining a relationship is not immediately
Based upon the confluence of membership and scholarly needs,
the Board of Governors asked the Journals Committee to explore the idea of
expanding both the size and scope of publication opportunities for AOM
members by creating a new empirical journal that would be focused on important
management issues and organizational phenomena that was not necessarily
theory driven. This eventually led to the development of AMD as a
"phenomenon-driven" empirical journal.
Q: D) Why not just expand the size and the scope of
AMJ instead of launching a new journal?
Q: E) How can I determine whether AMD is the
appropriate outlet for my manuscript?
seeks to publish discoveries that are likely to facilitate important advances
in management knowledge and practice. The first step in creating knowledge is conceiving the germ of an
idea that may change our understanding of an issue or phenomenon. This idea may originate from an observation or
experience in the practical world, from an unresolved puzzle in a theoretical
discipline, from an irregularity in an empirical analysis that violates our understanding of how things are expected to unfold, or from a personal
experience or insight.
Whatever the source of a
discovery, AMD welcomes papers that clearly ground a discovery in its
empirical characteristics and context, and diagnose the data in ways that may
lead to important advances in understanding the discovery. As Pasteur stated,
"Chance favors the prepared mind." AMD seeks to
publish papers from authors with minds -prepared not only in terms
of describing the particulars of a phenomenon in its
indigenous context, but also by showing a deep appreciation of the most
plausible alternative theories or models that do NOT adequately explain the
discovery. By definition, a phenomenon is not a discovery if it is adequately
addressed with existing theory or does not call existing theories or
taxonomies into question.
In particular, AMD is an appropriate outlet for manuscripts whose purpose can be identified with one of the following:
The purpose of this paper is to:
Q: F) What kind of papers will AMD publish?
We are frequently asked to provide examples of the kinds of papers AMD will publish. Because AMD has not yet published any papers, we reviewed other journals, and found the following exemplars of the variety of topics, methods, and data fitting AMD's mission.

Q: G) How might I frame an AMD paper?
Q: H) Are AMD manuscripts
Absolutely not. Theory is critically
important for any advancement of knowledge, but our appreciation of the roles of
theory in scholarship needs to broaden. All data are theory-laden to some extent; one cannot
consider evidence in a meaningful way without engaging in "sense-making." So AMD papers will very much rely on theory, but it is theory in
service of describing and understanding the phenomena, more than it is theory in
service of verification and testing as has been the case in AMJ and
In other words, theory plays two main roles in
AMD papers: (1) Theory as a guiding framework that may be affected by the discovery (i.e., a discovery
may highlight new boundary conditions for some theory; a discovery may overturn
accepted understandings of the mechanisms underlying a relationship; a discovery
may completely overturn basic assumptions underlying a particular theory; a discovery may demonstrate some relationship that is simply inconsistent with a
variety of relevant theories). (2) Theory as a means to better understand the possible mechanisms underlying the relationships or dynamics discovered empirically.
Q: I) Can an author submit a paper to AMD if it
was rejected at AMJ?
Because the purpose of articles
published in AMJ and AMD differ, at the time of initial
submission, authors need to carefully think about which AOM outlet offers the
best fit for their work. Papers that have been reviewed at other journals
and rejected, including AMJ, may or may not be a good fit for
The major criteria by which papers at AMD will
be judged are (a) the importance of the discovery, (b) the technical
strength of the research methods employed, (c) the weight of the
quantitative or qualitative evidence presented in supporting the premise and
eliminating alternative explanations for the discovery, and (d) the clarity
and conciseness of exposition. Reviewers will be asked to determine if the
discovery has a high likelihood of leading to advancements to management
knowledge and practice.
Q: J) Can I submit a meta-analysis to AMD and if
so, how does a meta-analysis submitted to AMD differ from one that
might be better suited for another AOM Journal?
Q: K) Does AMD publish simulation studies?
Q: L) Can I submit a qualitative study to AMD,
and if so, how does a qualitative study submitted to AMD differ
from one that might be better suited for another AOM journal?
Q: M) Is AMD an appropriate outlet for studies
that are trying to make contributions to Evidence-Based
Yes. Many have suggested that there is a
current imbalance between the emphasis on theory versus evidence in the field
of management, which has prompted calls for "Evidence-Based Management" (EBM)
(Rousseau, 2006; Pfeffer and Sutton, 2006). The EBM movement extols the virtues
of basing managerial practice on empirical findings. AMD articles could provide
the evidence that managers need without the research having to reach the
maturity of a formal theory before it can be published.
empirical findings may defy logic or it may take a long time before a formal and
comprehensive logic can be developed to explain them. AMD is the vehicle for sharing
these systematic and interesting empirical findings that can serve as the basis for
theorizing, while they can also inform and support practice. Findings reported in
AMD, as is the case with evidence reported in AMJ, support the
work of EBM. The main difference is that AMD focuses on the
plausibility of the EBM discovery, while AMJ focuses on the robustness
of the theory explaining the discovery.
Q: N) Will AMD publish articles that are
characterized by "null results?"
Q: O) Will AMD be "counted" by tenure and
promotion committees as an "A-level" or "top-tier" journal?
Q: P) Will AMD articles be highly
Q: Q) How long will it take for AMD articles to
be highly cited?
Q: R) Why is AMD only going to be offered
Q: S) Are there enough quality manuscripts that fit
the AMD profile to sustain this new journal?
With respect to analyzing the supply of quality manuscripts, the
Board of Governors, through the Journals Committee, examined 10 specific
journals for a three-year period that are not within the AOM portfolio, but
publish empirical studies (this set included SMJ, OS,
JOM, JAP, P-Psych, JIBS, JOB,
OBHDP, JMS, and LQ). They chose the three-year time
period 2004-2006 in order to have a minimum of five years' of citation history
for published articles (the research was conducted in 2012). They then
examined every article in those years that was cited (using ISI counts) with a
higher frequency than the average for AMJ articles published in the
same time period. The 10 specific journals were selected because they are
generally among the top 10 outlets in terms of their five-year citation
impact factors.
Having identified the highly cited papers in competing
journals, they examined each to see if the article was deemed to be a poor
fit for AMJ but a potentially good fit for AMD. Although this
was somewhat of a subjective judgment, most of the articles they identified
rarely or never used the word "theory" based upon an electronic search of the
manuscript, and none of these articles stated theory building or testing
theory as their primary purpose.
There were roughly 350 articles
published in these competing journals that achieved higher citation counts
than the AMJ average for that period. Roughly 95 (25%) of those
articles were not building new theory and were not theory-driven. Instead of
trying to build new theory or make theoretical extensions, the work
reflected in those 95 papers made empirical contributions to the literature
by (a) answering phenomenon-driven research questions (e.g., studies that
focused on performance in multinational alliances but not theories of
multinational alliances, or studies that focused on preventing work-related
accidents but not theories of accidents, and so on); (b) delivering
replications and extensions of critical past findings (e.g., international
replications); (c) providing more refined parameter estimation (e.g., via
meta-analyses); (d) informing debates within the existing literature with
new data; or (e) conducting construct validation and refinement.
average, the 95 papers were cited roughly 90 times compared to the average of
45 for AMJ articles published during the same time period, and
many of the articles had been rejected at AMJ. Although slightly
skewed, the distribution of the citation data was largely symmetrical. This
suggests that if the 95 papers that were above the AMJ mean were
combined with the next 95 papers below the mean, there would be a sample of
roughly 190 papers from which one could build a journal that had a mean
number of citations that was similar to that found at AMJ (over the
studied three-year period).
There seems to be no shortage of articles
that fit with the AMD profile, and many of these types of articles
wind up having a great deal of impact as assessed via citation counts.
AMD will allow AOM to capture some of the work that is now being
published by competing journals. Many of these competing journals are
published by commercial vendors with no formal ties to any professional
society such as AOM, but that draw on our members as authors and
Q: T) How did the process of developing AMD
Early in the development process of
AMD, the Board of Governors sought the input of 25 people who were
considered to be thought leaders within AOM. This group consisted of
individuals who were (a) current or former editors of AMJ and
AMR, (b) former editors of competing journals, (c) past AOM
Presidents, (d) past Deans of the AOM Fellows Group, (e) winners of the AOM
Distinguished Scientific Contributions Awards, and (f) current and former
division chairs. The comments from the vast majority of this group were
positive with respect to the need for AMD, and this group provided a
number of comments that were helpful in developing the new journal.
Although not everyone was supportive of AMD, even those who were
opposed recognized the need for more publication opportunities for members and
an expanded scope of those opportunities. Some argued that these problems
would be better addressed by changing the size, nature and scope of
AMJ. For the reasons previously stated, the decision was made to
leave AMJ unaltered. Instead, the plan was adopted to go forward
with a new journal, AMD.
The new and revised AMD
concept was then taken to the Chairs of the Division and Interest Groups of
AOM. The Journals Committee reached out to this group and sent them a
slightly updated version of the December 2011 AMD proposal,
including a revised mission statement, the analysis of the competitive
market, and a mock-up of the journal. The leaders of Divisions and Interest
Groups were asked to study the proposal and weigh in on whether or not they
believed AMD would provide a value-added professional contribution
to the members of their divisions and the Academy of Management's portfolio
of journal offerings.
They were then asked to respond to eight
specific questions to gauge the degree to which they thought AMD
would support the needs of their members and AOM at large, including:
We received input from 19 Division and Interest Group

Q: AOM AUTHORS (a) Why and when is it necessary to seek permission?
• Simply acknowledging the source of content is not a substitute for copyright permission.• All materials published by the Academy of Management are protected by copyright law, as stated in the United States Copyright Act. It is an infringement of copyright law to reproduce/reuse/republish a copyrighted work without the prior consent of the copyright holder. Additional details about copyright law can be obtained via Copyright.gov• Authors are responsible for obtaining express written permission from the Academy of Management prior to reproducing, reusing, or republishing any AOM copyrighted material.• Authors are also responsible for ensuring that the material they publish is original and that they have obtained all necessary permissions prior to having their material republished by the Academy of Management. If using excerpts from copyrighted works, the author must obtain irrevocable written permission for publication in both print and electronic formats from the original copyright owners, and appropriately credit their sources.• In general, when using the work of others authors must first determine if copyright permission is required. If the work is protected by copyright law, is not in the public domain and does not meet the criteria for fair use or another specific exception listed in this document or in the United States copyright law, then permission to reproduce the work must be obtained from the original owner of the copyright. If the work is owned by the Academy of Management, author(s) must obtain permission from the Academy of Management or its agent, the Copyright Clearance Center to reproduce or reuse the work.
Q: AOM AUTHORS (b) How do I reference a source or cite previously published material in my article?
Q: AOM AUTHORS (c) How do I attribute credit for material republished from journal articles?
Q: AOM AUTHORS (d) How do I attribute credit for images, figures or tables from another source?
Q: AOM AUTHORS (e) I had an article accepted to the Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. Is this article considered pre-published material?
• As a matter of business practice, the Academy of Management does not consider papers published in the AOM Proceedings to be pre-published. We trust that the full length manuscript will vary a great deal from the condensed Proceedings version and we will, therefore, agree to review manuscripts of this kind.• The Academy of Management does not consider papers published in the Proceedings of other associations to be pre-published provided that: (a) what has appeared in print is a shortened version of the paper and not a full-length manuscript and (b) the author is able to convey rights to the paper to the Academy of Management and is not precluded from doing so by a previous agreement.• If an author has a paper in the review process of an AOM journal that will also appear in the Best Paper Proceedings, the author should add a note in the acknowledgments stating that a previous (and abbreviated) version of this paper appeared in the (year) Best Paper Proceedings.
Q: AOM AUTHORS (f) Do I need permission if the material I am using has been modified or adapted?
Q: AOM AUTHORS (g) Do I need permission if I am only using an excerpt or limited portion of the original article?
Q: AOM AUTHORS (h) How would I know who owns the copyright on materials that were adapted from another source?
• For most print and online publications, the publisher is usually a copyright holder capable of providing permission. If you cannot identify the copyright holder, you may need to request a search from the United States copyright office.• It is important to note that a lack of response from the copyright holder does not, under United States law, convey permission.• In addition, some works may contain materials-text, images and graphics-from multiple copyright holders and may require a separate authorization from each one.• Simply acknowledging the source of content is not a substitute for copyright permission.
Q: AOM AUTHORS (j) What is a Derivative Work?
Q: AOM AUTHORS (k) Can I post my manuscript on the internet?
Q: AOM AUTHORS (m) I am an employee of the United States federal government. Are there any copyright restrictions that apply to my material?
• A work of the United States Government is a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties.• In most cases the United States federal government has determined that it has a nonexclusive right to publish or republish material developed from work performed by federal employees.• The Academy of Management will accept papers from government employees. Such authors must sign a modified copyright transfer agreement stating that the author(s) abide by the same provisions required of other AOM authors. The modified copyright transfer agreement would state, "This is to certify that the Work was written by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of his/her official duties, and therefore it is not subject to United States copyright." This statement must be also co-signed by an authorized Government agency representative.
Q: AOM AUTHORS (p) Can I provide a link from my individual or university website to an article I am citing in my piece?
In general, it is perfectly acceptable to link to a website to access site content without the permission of the website owner. The link MUST take the user completely out of the AOM (or individual) website to the content owner's website (i.e., AOM should not "frame" the website in its own pop up window to make it seem as if AOM is the author), this is a completely legal use of a link. The rationale behind this view is that if one is taken to the actual content owner's website, there is absolutely no mistake as to the identity of the content owner (it is not as if AOM would be trying to pass itself off as the author or publisher).
Q: AOM AUTHORS (q) My article has been accepted for publication. Can my university issue a press release promoting my forthcoming AOM material?
• We encourage publicity at the post-acceptance stage. Universities can promote their faculty's research. Please notify the Academy office of these efforts.• The Academy does not allow for the posting of the full text accepted article to non-AOM sites prior to publication. Please do not link to the article prior to its publication date.• The press release should clearly say "forthcoming in Academy of Management (name of publication)".
Q: AOM AUTHORS (r) Does a podcast count as a publication or pre-publication?
Q: AOM AUTHORS (n) I am not an employee of the government but I am the author of a manuscript that was funded and/or underwritten by the United States federal government. Can I still publish my article in an Academy of Management publication?
Q: AOM AUTHORS (o) My Academy article contains references to a piece that appears on a United States Government website. Can I provide a link from my individual university website to the United States Government article?
• Yes. All articles funded by the United States Government are available free of charge and considered in the public domain. Permission is not required for this type of usage.• We advise all authors to first check with the appropriate party at the United States federal government before linking to a government sponsored website.
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (a) How do I obtain permission to republish Academy of Management materials?
Permission can also be obtained online from the Copyright Clearance Center:Copyright Clearance Center222 Rosewood DriveDanvers, MA 01923Phone: (978) 750-8400Fax: (978) 750-4470http://www.copyright.comAdditional requests can be sent directly to email@example.com or to email@example.com
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (b) How do I obtain permission to republish materials that are featured in the Academy of Management Annals?
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (c) Why and when is it necessary to seek permission?
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (d) Are there any copyright exceptions which may apply?
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (e) What is considered one-time classroom use?
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (f) What is fair use?
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (g) What is considered public domain? Are items that are posted to free Internet sites considered public domain?
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (h) Do I need permission if the material is featured free of charge on the internet?
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (i) Do I need permission if the material I am using has been modified or adapted?
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (j) Do I need permission if I am only using an excerpt or limited portion of the original article?
As a general rule, if you discuss, criticize or analyze the excerpt, a good rule of thumb is to obtain permission if the discussion is longer than 400 words per excerpt or 800 cumulative words per article.
Q: CONTENT REUSAGE (k) Why does the Academy charge a fee for re-use of the content?
Q: AOM AUTHORS (l) If my dissertation has been published by a commercial or university publisher can I still submit it to the Academy of Management as a new, original work?
Q: INTERNATIONAL REPUBLICATION Outside the United States (b) How do I obtain permission to reprint Academy materials if I am not from the United States?
Q: INTERNATIONAL REPUBLICATION Outside the United States (a) What is the Academy's policy on translations and re-licensing content?
Q: OTHER RESOURCES (a) Are there other resources I can use to learn more about the permissions process?

Alireza Zahirieh, M.D.
Nephrologist, HIV Renal Disease Clinic

The prevention and treatment of kidney disease go hand in hand. A healthy lifestyle is essential for both. That means regular exercise, eating a well-balanced diet according to Canada's Food Guide, and cutting back on alcohol, tobacco and street drugs. People with HIV should also see their physicians and get screened regularly for kidney disease.
Kidney disease appears to be more common among people living with HIV than in the general population. Many of my patients have kidney disease that is not related to their HIV infection but rather to traditional risk factors -- such as diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension and smoking -- which are all more common among people with HIV. To manage kidney disease, one should manage the risk factors as much as possible. This includes controlling HIV with antiretroviral therapy.
Kidney disease has much in common with cardiovascular disease. In general, what's good for the heart is good for the kidneys. The chronic inflammation observed in some individuals with HIV infection puts them at risk for atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and thus at risk for heart attacks, strokes and chronic kidney disease. Fortunately, treating kidney disease also treats these other serious diseases.
When it comes to kidney disease, one must pay particular attention to drug-related kidney injury. Certain drugs are more likely to cause kidney injury, but almost any drug can cause an allergic reaction that affects the kidneys. To avoid injuring the kidneys, it is very important to ensure that medications are taken at appropriate doses. Also, when starting a new drug or changing the dose of a current drug, careful monitoring is often required. Certain over-the-counter medications, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or high doses of Aspirin, may cause kidney disease in individuals at risk for this complication. Finally, drug interactions can cause potentially dangerous adverse effects; it is crucial that your healthcare providers know the names of all the medications you're taking, including over-the-counter products and supplements.
In summary, a healthy lifestyle, aggressive treatment of risk factors for chronic kidney disease (including HIV infection), careful use of medication and a well-balanced diet will help protect your kidneys.
Jeff Kapler, B.Sc.Pharm.
HIV specialty pharmacist
Southern Alberta Clinic for HIV/AIDS
Many meds can affect kidney health, including some antiretrovirals. Certain antibiotics and blood pressure meds, anti-inflammatories and street drugs can all cause kidney damage. It is important for people who are at higher risk for kidney disease to use over-the-counter medication with caution. If someone is on anti-HIV drugs and has borderline kidney function, ibuprofen can tip the scales and cause additive kidney damage. For fever or pain relief, acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a good alternative, unless a person has severe liver disease.
Like many drugs, tenofovir (Viread, also in Truvada, Atripla and Complera) is cleared from the body by the kidneys. There are cases of kidney damage among people taking tenofovir. Results from a French cohort study looking at tenofovir's contribution to kidney disease were presented at the 2011 International AIDS Society conference in Rome. Of the roughly 2,700 participants on tenofovir, less than 5 percent developed chronic kidney disease. Of those who did develop chronic kidney disease, 90 percent already had reduced kidney function when they started taking tenofovir and they had other risk factors as well. If a patient is at considerable risk for kidney disease, I would recommend other options if available. However, tenofovir is not a drug to avoid in general, and especially if there are no other options for putting together an effective regimen.
Any medication that can cause crystals to form in the kidneys can harm the kidneys. There have been some reports of the protease inhibitor atazanavir (Reyataz) causing the formation of crystals and kidney stones, but much less so than indinavir (Crixivan), which has been associated with kidney stones in up to 13 percent of users. Indinavir is rarely used in Canada nowadays, but I recommend to my patients on atazanavir that they drink a minimum of eight glasses of water a day, especially in the summer months.
Maintaining one's overall health -- keeping cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure at optimal levels -- is important for the kidneys.

It is important that people with HIV consume enough calories, protein, fat, water and other fluids, as well as antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the kidneys from nephrotoxic medications (medications that can be toxic to the kidneys) and from the harmful effects of HIV. Everyone should take a daily multivitamin and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. A minimum of five servings of fruits and vegetables every day is optimal, including a variety of brightly coloured ones. Antioxidants clean up the free radicals created during the inflammatory response. Fish oils and omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties.
I prescribe antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C, selenium and n-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), to help the body produce glutathione, an important antioxidant that can't be directly supplemented. Some botanical medicines or herbs can protect the kidneys and stimulate the immune system; several studies support the use of astragalus, curcumin (turmeric), alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10 and spirulina. Curcumin is one of the best.
If someone develops kidney disease, their vitamin D levels should be tested and if they're too low, supplemented, because the kidneys are involved in making vitamin D. A person shouldn't take too much vitamin C because this can in some cases contribute to kidney stones.
It is important to talk to a health professional, like a naturopathic doctor, before taking any supplements. The dosage must be tailored to the individual and should take into consideration any other conditions they may have and other medications they may be taking.

The Central Connecticut women's basketball team earned a 53-52 victory over New Hampshire on Wednesday night. The Blue Devils (2-2) edged the Wildcats (2-2) on a free throw by senior Lauren Arbogast with one second remaining on the clock.
The Wildcats inbounded the ball with 3.6 seconds remaining and the game tied 52-52. The inbound pass went into the post and Arbogast was fouled as she tried to secure the rebound of Corinne Coia's missed layup with one second left on the clock. Arbogast missed her first free throw, but connected on the second to give CCSU a one point edge.
New Hampshire inbounded the ball following the layup, but the Wildcats were unable to get across midcourt before time expired.
The first half of the game featured eight lead changes and three tie scores. The final tie of the half came with 24 seconds left as sophomore TeJahne Malone stole the ball and scored on a layup to knot the contest at 25-25.
CCSU built a 13 point lead over the Wildcats with a 24-11 run to start the second half.
The Blue Devils held their double-digit lead until the 6:53 mark in the period. From there UNH closed the gap to a single point with a 12-0 run. The run eventually grew to 16-3 as the Wildcats tied the contest at 52-52 with 38 seconds remaining.
Senior Jessica Babe led CCSU with 16 points and 11 rebounds. She also had four assists and a steal. Babe committed just one turnover in over 36 minutes of action. Her double-double is the first of the year for the Blue Devils.
Malone came off the bench to score a career-high 11 points. She also posted five rebounds, a steal, a block and an assist in 24 minutes on the floor.
In addition to hitting the go ahead free throw, Arbogast grabbed 11 rebounds to match Babe for the game high. She finished with six points.
Senior Brooke Bailey also had a strong game with nine points and nine rebounds. Bailey added two steals and a block in 22 minutes on the court.
As a team, the Blue Devils shot 32.3% (21-65) from the floor and 29.4% (5-of-17) from behind the arc. CCSU was also six-of-10 from the free throw line. The Wildcats went to the line 23 times, but converted just 10 free throws.
The Blue Devils will return to action on Tuesday, Nov. 26 at Hartford and then will travel to La Salle on Saturday, Nov. 30.

Theology and Philosophy
The BrikVerse and all the places it interacts with are home to a staggering amount of creatures, many of them even sentient. With the planes teeming with life, and their own fates seemingly directed by outside forces, it is only natural that copious quantities of theological and philosophical beliefs and ideas would arise from a population struggling to make sense of it all.
There are many cults and religions in the Universe. Here are the more notorious ones.
Major Religions
Major Religions are belief sets that are found across the entire Brikverse; virtually any minifig anywhere would have at least heard of them, and they are the plot points of many battles.
- The Great Builder
Dice Worship and the Cult of the Player
First Universal Church of Explosions
Cults include fanatical followers, and typically, a cult leader. They can be found anywhere, and are frequently hidden amongst more "normal" minifigs. commonly, they will be frowned upon by proponents of more "mainstream" religions.
Minor Faction Specific Religions
These religions are followed by only one or two star-nations and it is therefore very unlikely that you will come across minifigs who follow these belief sets unless you find yourself face to face with one of these factions.
Philosophy is endless in the BrikVerse, but often very simple. The great questions in life can be answered with the pointy end of a stick.

"Can For-Profit Corporations Be Good Citizens? Perspectives from Four Business Leaders"
Corporations and Citizenship brings together scholars from legal studies, business ethics, philosophy, history, political science, and anthropology to address the role of modern for-profit corporations in democratic states.
This chapter serves an epilogue, turning to ask practitioners how they would answer the question, "Can for-profit corporations be good citizens?" In reflecting on their answers, the chapter puts forward an account that grounds the purpose and responsibilities of for-profit corporations in their role in enabling productive activity that allows members of society to meet their needs and wants. This account is contrasted with prevailing accounts in the scholarly literature (e.g., shareholder primacy and stakeholder theory) that frame corporate purpose and responsibility in terms of whose interests the corporation is meant to serve. One area of comparison concerns a central activity of citizenship, which is participation in the political and legislative processes.

When I first started speaking, I quickly exhausted my local conferences and needed to find other events that would accept my talk proposals. But finding conferences in need of speakers was a tiresome task, involving word of mouth, cold calling, and lots of "Oh, I wish I'd known they were looking for speakers!" Finally, someone cued me in on a very special page of Lanyrd.com, the "social conference directory" of upcoming and past conferences and their speakers.
Frustratingly, the page doesn't show up on many Google searches, so it bears pointing out:
It's a fire hose of leads, true, and you have to pick through them to find conferences that appeal to you, but it was because of this page that I ended up on a panel at BlogHer 2012.
You can filter calls by location and, to a lesser extent, by topic. It also lists calls for volunteers, papers, attendees, contest entries, and other kinds of participation, if that's more your style. Unfortunately, what this page really needs is an RSS feed you can filter and pipe to your heart's content!
Once you establish yourself as a reputable speaker, it's likely that conferences will start seeking you out and you can take these training wheels off. But it's still fun to dig around for those little gems from outside your circle of colleagues!
Happy hunting!

Nursing home residents have a right to be treated with dignity and respect. They have a right to receive the necessary care, treatment, and services that enable them to maintain or increase their quality of life. However, these rights are often violated by the nursing homes.
Nursing home abuse is a serious problem, and with an increasing elderly population entering nursing homes, the potential for neglect grows as homes are frequently understaffed and don't provide the level of care residents require.
At McHugh Fuller, we have the knowledge and the experience in nursing home abuse litigation to successfully fight for your loved one's rights. For almost 20 years, we have been holding nursing home companies accountable for the health and safety of their residents when they have put profits above quality care.
If you have seen or experienced any of these common signs of abuse - dehydration, significant weight loss, bedsores, or broken bones and other unexplained injuries - call our office immediately to set up an appointment with one of our highly-qualified attorneys. Let us help you get the justice your loved one deserves.

In a press release that just came out, hedge funder David Einhorn told shareholders to vote AGAINST a proposal from Apple that would eliminate the company's ability to issue preferred stock that paid a dividend.In the letter he reveals that he's been talking to Apple about doing more to unlock the $137 billion that it holds on its balance sheet. And he believes that by using preferred stock, Apple could get a lot more credit for the cash it holds.
This is a frustration of a lot of investors. Apple has all this cash: Why isn't the market valuing it more?
Anyway, here's how Einhorn says Apple could create hundreds of billions worth of value in a snap:
For example, Apple could initially distribute to existing shareholders $50 billion of perpetual preferred stock, with a 4% annual cash dividend paid quarterly at preferential tax rates. Once a trading market is established and the market recognises the attractiveness of a highly liquid, steady yielding instrument from an issuer backed by Apple's unmatched balance sheet and valuable franchise, the Board could evaluate unlocking additional value by distributing additional perpetual preferred stock to existing shareholders. With this conservative action, Greenlight believes the Board could unlock hundreds of billions of dollars of latent shareholder value.
Assuming Apple retains its price to earnings multiple of 10x and the preferred stock yields 4%, our calculations show that every $50 billion of perpetual preferred stock that Apple distributes would unlock about $30 billion, or $32 per share in value. Greenlight believes that Apple has the capacity to ultimately distribute several hundred billion dollars of preferred, which would unlock hundreds of dollars of value per share. Further, Greenlight believes additional value may be realised when Apple's price to earnings multiple expands, as the market appreciates a more shareholder friendly capital allocation policy.
Einhorn is on CNBC talking about this, and he says that this solution would allow Apple to keep its cash hoard for whatever it wants, while also creating an instrument that monetizes it, creating instant value for shareholders. He describes it as a win-win.
Hosts on the show asked him why this couldn't be accomplished just with a big share buyback or higher dividend. Einhorn's suggestion was that that would require Apple to part with more cash instantly than it was comfortable with. He claims that the creation of a special class of shares would create instant value, while also allowing Apple to hold onto most of its cash.
Specifically, he said on CNBC when asked why not do buybacks:
This is better. This is way better because this doesn't actually require them to use any of the cash right away. They would be able to maintain their cash chest and all of the strategic ideas and at the same time shareholders would be rewarded with something that gives them credit for Apple's phenomenal balance sheet and franchise value.
Bear in mind, this idea only works if you believe that current equity investors aren't properly valuing the cash. If you think current equity does properly take the cash into account, then just moving this cash towards preferred stock doesn't do anything. You can't create money out of nothing.
On CNBC he says that he's more long Apple than he ever has been before.
More broadly, it's remarkable that Apple, which was once an invincible high-flyer, is now being targeted by angry hedge funders.

The Week The Women Went, a "social experiment" — in which all of the women are removed from a small town, and a camera crew films the results — has been done for CBC Television in Canada and for the BBC Three. Now, Americans can find out what happens when ladies leave, men stop being polite… and start getting real. Or something. According to the network, The Week The Women Went, which will air on Lifetime in August, will
explore modern gender roles and find out what happens when all of the women leave town, leaving the men behind to run their households, businesses and community on their own.
Interesting, but hopefully it's not just about how women are the best at taking care of kids and keeping things clean.

A basketball fanatic and a math whiz want to do for basketball what Bill James and sabermetrics did for baseball, and their innovative way of parsing data could revolutionize game analysis, providing coaches with new insights while making the game more fun to watch.
Sabermetrics, for those who haven't seen Moneyball, is the objective analysis of baseball using game stats. Billy Beane used it to revolutionize the Oakland A's. Compared to baseball, though, basketball is much more dynamic, and ball movement becomes a key variable in success. Passing is one of the fundamentals of hoops, and in the upper ranks of the sport, turnovers — often the result of wayward passes — contribute to ticks in the win-loss column. Fast, agile passing can make or break a team.
That's why sabermetrics might not tell the entire story about what happens on the court. Researchers at Arizona State University, led by life science professor and basketball fan Jennifer Fewell and math professor Dieter Armbruster found an ideal model to explain the results of the 2010 NBA playoffs by simply keeping their eye on the ball. Their work opens the door to an entirely new line of sports analysis, from game-tape breakdown to highlight reels and augmented-reality visualizations.
To analyze basketball plays, Fewell and Armbruster used a technique called network analysis, which turns teammates into nodes and exchanges — passes — into paths. From there, they created a flowchart of sorts that showed ball movement, mapping game progression pass by pass: Every time one player sent the ball to another, the flowchart lines accumulated, creating larger and larger and arrows.
Using data from the 2010 playoffs, Fewell and Armbruster's team mapped the ball movement of every play. Using the most frequent transactions — the inbound pass to shot-on-basket — they analyzed the typical paths the ball took around the court.
For most teams, the inbound pass went primarily to the point guard, generally a team's best ball handler. But point guard-centric, such as the Bulls, didn't fare well in the 2010 playoffs, the researchers told Wired.
On the other hand, the Los Angeles Lakers — which won the 2010 NBA championship — distributed the ball more evenly than their rivals, embracing what Phil Jackson calls the "triangle offense," a technique pioneered by Hall of Fame coach Sam Barry. The basic idea is simple: Maintain balanced court spacing so any player can pass to another at any point.
In their model, Fewell and Armbruster found a mathematical explanation for why the triangle offense works — the point guard was no longer the only player feeding passes to fellow players; his teammates were just as likely to take on that role. With more potential passers, there are more potential paths for the opposition to defend.
To quantify their results, published in the journal PLOS ONE, the researchers derived the entropy, or measure of system disorder, for each team during each game. In six of the eight first rounds, winners had higher team entropy, and therefore more randomness, than losers. Though the sample size of teams in the NBA playoffs may be small, the data suggest a possible relationship between quick, unpredictable ball movement and success in games.
"[It seems] entropy wins games," Armbruster told Wired.
Not everyone is convinced. Critics say the triangle offense marginalizes point guards. The loudest critic might just be Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak, who boldly told reporters the triangle offense was not only wrong for a Lakers team helmed by All-Star point guard Steve Nash, but any Lakers team at all.
Triangle offense aside, there are many applications for the modeling Fewell and Armbruster used to dissect it. Krossover Intelligence is working on some of the most promising. James Piette, v.p. of analytics, said the company has used a similar approach in a video playback system that could revolutionize game tape analysis.
"We want to help coaches win," Piette said.
All of Krossover's videos are searchable, and their technology is sophisticated enough to create computer visualizations showing what players did — and, better yet, what they should have done.
Piette has been a stats geek since he was 18, when he wrote an artificial intelligence poker program. He's got a triple major in mathematics, economics and computer science, and a PhD in statistics. Midway through his doctoral program, Piette met Vasu Kulkarni, a self-described basketball junkie who was just launching Krossover, a company obsessed with sports statistics. The team excels at breaking down game tape using analysis similar to, yet distinct from, what Fewell and Armbruster developed. They've already signed up the Caltech men's basketball team.
"We were looking for program that would streamline process of video breakdown and stat analysis," head coach Oliver Eslinger told Wired. He said Krossover is easier to use than his former method, which consisted of scrutinizing DVD game footage and recording results in a computer spreadsheet.
Because Krossover lets you diagram and breakdown every possession, coaches no longer have to have to fast-forward or rewind game film to show a player's performance during a game. Need to know every shot-on-basket for John Doe during a particular game? The answer is one click away on Krossover's platform.
Being at Caltech, where some of the brightest minds come to learn, the statistical backbone of Krossover becomes key. The players understand it's a bona fide analysis system, not just a novelty, Eslinger said. "It's another way to build trust with players."
Because Krossover can repurpose some of the video data — with permission of the original team, of course — the company could create the next-gen highlight reels or visual recruiting database. For instance, coaches may be able to use the system to quickly understand how well a particular blue chip recruit performs against the 1-3-1 zone defense when on the road. Or, better yet, the program might show how much a highly overlooked player contributes to overall team play, leading to coaches recruiting the prospect.
In retrospect, Moneyball propelled the field of sports statistics more than Piette first expected. Before the book and movie became popularized, he had trouble publishing his work, because the academic community viewed sports as just a game, not serious science, Piette guesses. But the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference is now packed, he told Wired.com, offering people places to publish their sports-related results in peer-reviewed publications.
Perhaps the only problem is: now everyone who took Stats 101 thinks they are an analyst. But stats aren't linear, Piette says, and the simple regression methods that most learned won't work. The type of rigor needed to crack these sports statistics problems are only taught in PhD programs. And while none currently exists, Piette hopes for specific advanced degrees in sports analytics one day.
While fans direct cheers that fill sports arenas toward athletic giants such as LeBron James or Kobe Bryant, bright statisticians still sit in the shadows. But when these mathematical stars begin helping LeBron improve his game, it's certain they'll hear more and more of the applause.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

NYC Cocktail Week: Our Tips and Recommended Sips
Cocktailling can be a costly hobby. With New York's finer cocktails approaching $15 a pop, an evening of these carefully crafted libations can run you the price of a Michelin-starred dinner for two. Thankfully, in the same vein as Restaurant Week, NYC Cocktail Week is here to help ease your entry into the world of high class imbibery by combining two of our favorite things...small plates and strong drinks!
From right now until June 29th, over a dozen of the city's finest mixologists are offering up two full size cocktails and an appetizer for a mere $20.11. The list includes such hot spots such as Employees Only, Pegu Club, Death & Company, and Clover Club. There are no reservations and secret passwords are required. Simply ask the bartender for the Cocktail Week menu, choose two from column "a" and one from column "b," and settle in for a delicious time.
Always up for a little cocktail adventure, we recently hit the town to uncover the finest offerings from NYC Cocktail Week. Click through the slideshow to see our favorite sips and nibbles.
Tips for Navigating NYC Cocktail Week
From the outside, Cocktail Week seems pretty straightforward. But once you get down to the details, things can get a bit tricky. Here are a few tips to help you make the most out of your evening:
- Cocktail Week is mostly for happy hour and mostly excludes the premium hours of 8 pm to 10 pm. Some venues will offer their $20.11 special after 10 pm, but we found a few venues that did not. Call ahead to avoid paying full price.
- While some venues will let two people split the special, others require each member of your party to partake in two cocktails and an appetizer. If you are venturing to a few spots on the list, this can get dangerous for both your wallet and your composure. Again, call ahead or save a few dollars by having half your party order a beer or club soda and sneak an occasional sip.
- Many venues do no offer the deal on weekends—check the NYC Cocktail Week site for restrictions.
- Be polite and tip accordingly—you're getting a great deal, and your bartender is still working hard.

Hoan Bridge to be repaired piece by piece
Repairs expected to take two years
Brace yourself -- another massive road construction project is about to kick off, and this one will affect thousands of people who live and work in Milwaukee, and perhaps even more visitors.
The Hoan Bridge repairs are expected to start in late October one side at a time.
Exit ramps will close, new ones will be built, and the entire deck of the bridge will come off and be replaced.
This newest facelift is likely to mean some headaches for drivers.
"Ugh, longer commute times, just sitting in traffic, basically a nightmare," Hoan Bridge commuter Lisa Pennybaker said.
Some downtown commuters got their first look Tuesday at the two-year-long repair project, including the shutdown of the exit at Lincoln Memorial Drive near Summerfest.
"We're going to be creating temporary lanes, temporary ramps to accommodate the traffic," Wisconsin Department of Transportation spokesman Michael Pyrtiz aid.
Other changes will send drivers in new directions.
The westbound off ramp from the bridge, for example, will flip and become an on ramp from the east.
The traffic flow in the center lane over the bridge will actually switch directions twice, every day, leading drivers north into downtown in the morning and out in the afternoon.
The bridge is a link to south suburbs and the Bay View neighborhood, and business manager Adriana Andino worries that the road work might have an impact on her pet supply shop.
"I'm thinking we might not have as many new customers, but hopefully our regular customers know the area well enough to kind of get around," Andino said.
But the DOT said it's working to minimize the impact on drivers, but it may take some getting used to.
"There's going to be an awful lot of changes that motorists will see," Pyritz said.
The Hoan Bridge's troubled past includes a partial collapse in 2000.
