_______________________________________________

Now in our 18th year, the Institute of Behavioral and Applied Management provides for a warm, supportive and developmental-oriented network of colleagues from around the United States and abroad. We welcome management scholars, practitioners, and students to our organization and invite you to participate in IBAM through our annual conference or by submission to our electronic, peer-reviewed Journal of Behavioral and Applied Management (JBAM).

JOIN US in sunny San Diego, where we will gather to discuss, debate, and present our ideas about the future of behavioral and applied management. Enhance your education with visits to the historical and cultural sites of this coastal city.

ENJOY the camaraderie and intellectual curiosity of your peers as you debate the management issues of the day. IBAM welcomes management educators, business practitioners, and students to share their ideas, research, and experiences in a friendly and supportive environment.   Session discussions are lively, informative, stimulating, and broad-based.

PARTICIPATE as a presenter, reviewer, session chair, discussant, volunteer or division chair. You will be warmly welcomed and we predict you will enjoy interacting professionally and personally in an atmosphere where you are a valued individual and colleague, not a member of a cast of thousands. Executives, managers, professionals, and students are all members and active participants in IBAM’s annual conferences.   Be sure to indicate your interest in being a discussant or session chair when you register for the conference!

STAY at the enchanting Marriott San Diego Mission Valley where Spanish accents meet tropical landscaping and convenient access to the premier attractions in America's Finest City. Enjoy a full host of amenities and services, from breathtaking balcony views, to the downtown trolley stop within steps of the hotel's door. Relax in intimate corners of comfort loungers throughout the hotel. Experience the excitement of Qualcomm Stadium, Gaslamp Quarter, Old Town, SeaWorld, and much more - all just minutes from the hotel. Each guest room offers high-speed Internet, premium cable, luxurious bedding by Marriott, and other first-rate amenities.

CELEBRATE all that our West Coast has to offer.   If you can attend only one conference this year, make it IBAM in San Diego!

Best Papers are Eligible for Journal Publication

The Best Papers in the Divisions are eligible for publication consideration in the Journal of Behavioral and Applied Management (JBAM). The Journal provides an international outlet for its contributors.

Student Scholarships Available

Each year IBAM awards a $250 scholarship in each of its student subdivisions: bachelors, masters and doctoral. The scholarship is granted to the student submitting the best paper in each division. A student must submit the paper to the Student Division (Division V). Papers submitted to other Divisions are not eligible for the scholarship. Eligible papers may NOT be co-authored with a faculty member or practitioner but may be co-authored with other students (the scholarship is shared in this case).

Contact the Chair of Division V for further details.

JBAM Call for Papers

We invite you to consider JBAM for your next scholarly publication related to the field of management. We are looking for articles that describe field, laboratory, and applied research, management cases, as well as practical and theoretical pieces that help both academics and practitioners better understand the phenomena of management in the modern world. As a totally electronic journal, your article may potentially be read by anyone using the Internet, providing a world-wide audience of students, lecturers, professors, practicing managers and many others who may be interested in your topic.

IBAM Conference Testimonials
(represented here with their permission)

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you and the rest of conference committee for such a wonderful experience this past week at IBAM. It was my first IBAM conference -- John Sosik spoke so very highly of the people affiliated with IBAM that I decided to attend even though I had no role as a presenter, discussant or workshop organizer. He was so very accurate in his descriptions! I found the IBAMers to be a warm and welcoming group of professionals. I felt a genuine sense of camaraderie and collegiality that was indeed a refreshing experience. I look forward to next year's conference and the opportunity to become more involved. Again, thank you for an exceptional conference."

~Sandi L. Dinger, Ph.D.
Now at Eastern University; message of October 26, 2004

"The IBAM conference was the best!!! Thank you both for being so hospitable and chairing/reviewing my paper. I really liked the sessions at the conference more than others that I have attended because the topics were very practitioner oriented vs esoteric research. I know everything has its place, but because of the practical nature of the sessions I attended, I was able to take home lots of ideas. And--of course, everyone there was so collegial."

~Bonnie Garson, Ph.D.
Reinhardt College; message of October 26, 2004

"...My first year in Tampa had loads of doctoral students, and I really felt I learned a lot from them. In addition to all the help from you, Ernie [Stark] also made a real difference that year. He spoke to me in between sessions like I was a real person. After the Academy, that was amazingly refreshing."
