    The Midwest Academy of Management welcomes you to submit your work to the 64th Annual Conference in Davenport on St. Ambrose University's campus. We welcome papers, presentations, conversations, and creative thinking that positively impact the grand challenges that face business and society today such as inequality, climate change, racial and social injustice, and toxic behavior at workplace. These are just a few of the grand challenges facing societies and organizations that demand our attention, make an impact through our scholarship, and advance best practices. This conference aims to encourage tough conversations, targeting our scholarship in ways that can meaningfully transition to advance practice in these areas. We welcome your submissions and ideas addressing how we can challenge and equip students to create, lead, and manage change in organizations. How can our collective work serve to make a real and lasting difference to society and the organizations? How might your previous research streams be modified and directed to address these grand challenges?

    In addition to the traditional academic disciplinary tracks, new this year, we are hosting a track for professionals in Business Practice the Business Practice track for practicing professionals. This track specifically invites practicing business professionals to engage in advancing thought leadership through their submission of short reflective and insightful essays (~5 pages) that address the conference theme, from their practice perspective.  These short essays could then turn into white papers, blog posts, LinkedIn articles, keynote speeches, podcast content, or practice-based scholarly publications. Practicing professionals in this track benefit from the dialog and feedback from reviewers and conference attendees, and the partnering opportunities to collaborate with academic scholars on future research or scholarly practice publications.

    We welcome collaborative paper sessions, professional development workshops, symposiums, and other sessions related to the theme. Submit your research papers, symposia proposals, professional development workshop proposals, short papers, and other creative works.  Acceptance decisions will be made by early August 2021.
