About us

Welcome to the 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 2020 we are converting our conferences to an online format and focusing each conference on specific topics. We have also had focused conferences on teaching and on business education.  We have also run numerous student-conferences in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada.  We will be combining our research and student conferences for many future events.

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.

Coming this Fall 2020 is a special 100% online conference focusing on all management disciplines.  There will be special editions of the WJHRM and JBMC journals focusing on the research presented at this conference.   This year's conference promises to be educational and supportive, and will be innovative as a 100% online, asynchronous conference.
