Overview

Mission

The mission of the Society is to enhance the quality of teaching and learning across the management disciplines.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, mobts hosted our annual conference at salem state university serving over 260 attendees through the main conference, and our pre-conference activities such as the doctoral institute and early educator institute. We also hosted an international conference at james cook university (singapore) with approximately 65 attendees, as well as an oceania conference at the university of queensland (brisbane, australia) with 73 attendees as we continue to emphasize our international outreach for management education.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 62% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
