The Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management was well attended by about 10.000 individuals. 55 percent of which hailed from foreign countries. Large contingent from France and Germany. China usually has a large number of attendees, but this year took 2nd place behind Europe. Also noteworthy was the attendance by older Academy members, mostly American who have either returned to work in academia and a small amount electing to join the Academy as they returned to school to obtain or complete terminal degrees.
