The Society for Advancement of Management invites you to submit your academic work to one of our different tracks:

Track 1: Scholarly Research

Presentations in this track will focus on one of the following three areas of scholarship:

  1. Basic or discovery scholarship that generates and communicates new knowledge and understanding and/or development of new methods. Intellectual contributions in this category are normally intended to impact the theory, knowledge, and/or practice of business.
  2. Applied or Integration/application scholarship that synthesizes new understandings or interpretations of knowledge or technology; develops new technologies, processes, tools, or uses; and/or refines, develops, or advances new methods based on existing knowledge. Intellectual contributions in this category are normally intended to impact the practice of business.
  3. Teaching and learning scholarship that develops and advances new understandings, insights, and teaching content and methods that impact learning behavior. Intellectual contributions in this category are normally intended to impact the teaching of business (AACSB 2013 Accreditation Standards).

Track 2: Graduate Masters/Doctoral Student Research

This track is limited to research presentations of graduate student work.  Joint Faculty and Student research should be directed to the Faculty/Student Research track.
