SAAM’s work is largely carried out by members on a voluntary basis.
We seeks to ensure that SAAM’s governance and organization is a representative of diversity (e.g., in terms of gender, ethnicity, race, language, religion, national origin) of the South Asian region.
We recognize that Special Interest Groups are the real “home” for most members-the place where members volunteer and contribute their efforts. It is incumbent on the leadership of each such group to assume responsibility for satisfying their members’ needs by designing and sponsoring an excellent annual program and extending services.

SAAM’s Brief History
In August 2010, several Academy of Management participants from South Asia met informally in Montreal in order to discuss the need and mechanics to establish the South Asian Academy of Management. They endorsed the principle that SAAM should be an independent organization, with links to the Academy of Management, British Academy of Management, European Academy of Management and other scholarly organizations. The objective of SAAM is thus to encourage contextualized management research with South Asia relevance towards global contribution to scholarship.
