Welcome to IACMR 2023, the Tenth IACMR Biennial Conference! Background of IACMR The International Association for Chinese Management Research (IACMR) is an academic organization that serves scholars, students, managers, and consultants who are interested in advancing knowledge of organizational management in the Chinese context. The primary goal of the association is to promote organization and management research in China. The four core values of IACMR are: pursuit of excellence, source of inspiration, responsible scholarship, and spirit of service. IACMR has been recognized as an authoritative, world-class academic research organization in the area of Chinese management. Since its inception in 2001, IACMR has now over 13,000 registered members from almost 100 countries and has held nine biennial conferences with great success. The IACMR’s 10th biennial meeting will take place from June 14th to 18th, 2023 in Hong Kong, China, hosted by Hong Kong Baptist University. IACMR Conference Key Features 1. The largest Management Conference in the Asia Pacific IACMR biennial conference is the largest management conference in Asia. The first conference was held in Beijing in 2004 with 450 participants. Since then, the number of participants has grown to over 1,500 in recent years. 2. International Aspect In the past, IACMR conferences not only attracted scholars from all top business schools in Greater China, but also many participants from major business schools from North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asian countries, and the Middle East. 3. Keynote speakers and Journal Editor A unique feature of each IACMR conference is the 15-20 world-class keynote speakers. Each keynote speech session attracts 500-800 audiences. All invited keynote speakers are leading scholars of management research or editors of top management journals such as Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science, and Journal of Applied Psychology. 4. Paper Sessions, Symposiums, and PDWs In the 2023 conference, we expect to have 90 paper sessions, 12 symposiums, 48 round table sessions, and 20 PDWs. We have seen substantial improvement in the quality of submitted papers in the last 15 years. The IACMR conference has become a major platform for intellectual exchanges of management scholars, research students, and practitioners in Asia. 5. School Promotion and Placement Services In recent years, many business schools and companies take the opportunity of IACMR conferences to promote their schools/ companies through offering sponsorship and organizing receptions. Also, IACMR conferences have become a key source for business schools in the region to recruit faculty members through placement services. 6. Dean’s Forum We will invite the deans of major business schools to speak at the IACMR Dean’s Forum. The speakers will cover many topical issues ranging from advancing research to improving the quality of higher education.
