About us

Welcome to  WBM, the Western Business & Management Association International Research Conference.  WBM is a premiere research conference series focusing on all of the major business management disciplines including Management, Strategy, Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management Organization Theory, Marketing Management, Operations Management, Financial Management and I/O Psychology.  For 2023 we are returning to a live/in-person conference, but allowing virtual presentations for those who choose.  The 2023 conferences will be held in three unique locations:  Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe California and the beautiful Lisbon, Portugal.

We are based out of an AACSB accredited business school.  Most of our events are co-sponsored by STAN/SHRM, the former National HR Games Champions and multiple Super Merit Award winner from SHRM.  Papers presented in the conference may be published in the Western Journal of Human Resource Management  or the  Journal of Business Management & Change, both Cabells listed journals as 'white' journals.
