An exclusive, invitation-only forum of world class global thought and business leaders committed to co-create a leadership agenda to address critical  opportunities created by global challenges.

The oldest management organization in the world

Prague, July 1924, at the heart of the newly created republic of Czechoslovakia, President Tomas Mazaryk inaugurated the First Prague International Management Congress with the full support of US president Herbert Hoover

Fascinated by the new scientific developments the congress gathered more than one hundred academics and business leaders to deploy the power of scientific management to the service of post-war society and the preservation of world peace. It was the birth of the International Academy of Management. The oldest management organization in the world.

Faithfull to its roots, the IAM today constitutes an exclusive, invitation-only forum of world class global thought and business leaders committed to co-create a leadership agenda to address critical opportunities created by global challenges.

The IAM fellows gather in global forums to fulfill three key objectives: to build bridges between the private, public and social sectors. Transforming the purpose of business to have a positive impact on society and increasing the receptiveness and engagement of key opinion leaders for such purpose.
