Aalto University was highly visible in the 75th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management with 56 affiliated participants. The Department of Marketing was also actively taking part and was represented by 6 scholars who were authoring 7 competitive research papers in the Business Policy and Strategy, Technology and Innovation Management, Management History and Management Education divisions.
In the Business Policy and Strategy division, professor Henrikki Tikkanen’s paper, co-authored with Jaakko Aspara from Hanken School of Economics (who is also an Aalto Marketing alumnus) and Juha-Antti Lamberg from Jyväskylä University, was published in the Best Paper proceedings.
