The power of shared ideas: IFSAM’s journey in a book
IFSAM celebrates 35 years of global management scholarship with a volume that is far more than a commemorative exercise: it is the story of an intellectual community that has succeeded in bringing together scholars, perspectives, and academic traditions from around the world. The “Memory Book” edited by Yingying Zhang-Zhang and Nic Beech shows how the federation has grown through dialogue, reforms, congresses, and collaborations that have spanned continents and disciplines. Through themes of inclusion, sustainability, technology, and new pedagogies, the volume traces a trajectory that invites readers to rethink the role of academic associations in shaping the future of management knowledge.
