CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ACADEMY IN THE NEXT DECADE

The Academy of Management is a growing, thriving association, with membership around the globe. Yet the Academy faces challenges in the next decade, some the result of the Academy's success. I identify a few key challenges I believe the Academy will face and discuss how these are actually opportunities for growth and evolution. I also suggest some ideas for dealing with these challenges, ending with a note of optimism about the future of the Academy, due primarily to the dedication of the leadership and members of the Academy.
