Fellows
Fellows of the British Academy of Management are scholars who have made an outstanding Academic contribution to Business and Management scholarship, as well as demonstrating a significant contribution to the community of scholars in the field and within BAM.
The purpose of the College is to promote the highest calibre of UK research in management and business on a global stage, progress research-led teaching and support the highest standards in all areas of management education. This involves:
- fostering scholarly intellectual capital
- raising international visibility
- influencing international and national policy
- building research and teaching capacity
- building and maintaining alliances with cognate partners
- furthering links with practice
- supporting BAM activities
- leading debate on issues of national, regional and international importance in management education.
The College is led by the Dean and the Dean’s Group, who preside over the College's academic, strategic and electoral affairs. The Dean reports on these matters to BAM Council. The Dean’s Group for 2025 is:
Professor Fiona Wilson
Fiona Wilson was Professor of Organisational Behaviour in the Adam Smith Business School. Having recently retired after over 21 years there, she is currently Emeritus Professor, an Affiliate and Honorary Senior Research Fellow.
She has published two books and around 44 articles in journals such as AMR, ASQ, Sociology, Work, Employment and Society, Organization, Organization Studies and Human Relations. Her research interests are focussed mainly on equality and gender at work.
Fellows College Activities
The College normally stages an open session at the BAM Conference and meets twice a year, with an additional AGM during Conference, and organise a series of Fellows Masterclasses.
Furthermore, our involvement extends to supporting doctoral symposiums, Special Interest Group (SIG) events, and the Peer Review College. Through these engagements, we aim to facilitate the development of emerging scholars, provide platforms for specialised discussions and networking opportunities, and maintain rigorous standards in academic publishing through peer review processes.
A Working Group of Fellows, led by Susan Vinnicombe and Fiona Wilson in 2021-23, looked at EDI in UK Business Schools. Their report can be read HERE.
