Membership in the Strategic Management Society opens doors to people, resources, and opportunities to support your career growth. Learn more about the access you’ll gain to leading journals, discounted conference registrations, Member Circle, and more—all designed to keep you connected to the latest ideas and global network of strategy leaders.
Another advantage of SMS is the connections you’ll gain. SMS is where researchers and business leaders find trusted collaborators, generous mentors, meaningful feedback, and lasting professional relationships. Through events programming and volunteer leadership, members learn, share, and support one another throughout the year.
"That feeling of belonging, of being surrounded by people who were supportive of my work, who were giving me feedback, who were helping me grow on all dimensions of my scholarly identity. I think it has helped me tremendously at different stages and it still helps me a lot.”
Federica de Stefano, Oxford University, of the Strategic Human Capital Interest Group.
"Unlike other academic societies, we also pride ourselves in being ABC - bringing not just Academics, but also Business Practitioners and Consultants of strategic management under our tent. This ensures that our research is not only rigorous but also relevant."
Bala Chakravarthy, International Institute for Management Development (IMD)
