“To promote quality teaching and learning across the management disciplines.”

Values and Actions

The Society affirms teaching as a noble calling, spanning the boundaries between art and science. Quality management education is grounded in creativity and focused on learning in the classroom and beyond. It effectively links theory and practice, research and application, design and delivery, instruction and assessment.

The Society creates opportunities for educators at all career stages to come together and reaffirm teaching. It embraces the central role of trust, mutual respect, and personal growth in learning. It fosters the creation of supportive learning environments where individuals take risks to develop their own skills and support the growth of others.

The Society leads the way in promoting appreciation and support for teaching. It convenes essential conversations to explore the elements of quality management education. It fosters the scholarship of teaching. It develops and disseminates educational resources — best practices, experiential pedagogy, teaching designs — through its publications, website, professional development efforts, and conferences.
