Objective:

The primary goal of this initiative is to foster a positive and supportive community tailored for junior faculty members within the International Association for Chinese Management Research (IACMR). Recognizing the unique challenges and pressures that women junior faculty members often face, especially in the early stages of their academic careers, this community aims to be a beacon of support. It seeks to equip these faculty members with the emotional, cognitive, and instrumental resources they require to not only survive but also thrive within the academic realm. By focusing on the specific needs and concerns of IACMR members, this committee will provide targeted support, mentorship, and opportunities for growth, ensuring that these junior faculty members are set on a trajectory of success.

Inclusivity Statement:

This committee is open to both women and men who are pre-tenure. While women often face amplified challenges, especially given their irreplaceable roles in child nurturing and caregiving, our aim is to be as inclusive as possible. We warmly welcome all pre-tenure researchers engaged in Chinese management studies, regardless of gender, race, nationality, or location, to participate in our activities.
