The EIASM Board is delighted to announce the nomination of Professor Timothy Devinney, from the Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, Professor and Chair of International Business, as the recipient of the 6^th EIASM Interdisciplinary Leader Award.

The Award has been formally presented during the 2025 EIASM Academic Council Meeting on the afternoon of 5^th May 2025 at Vlerick Business School in Brussels. We extend your warm congratulations to Professor Devinney!

The EIASM Interdisciplinary Leader Award was established in 2015 to recognise faculty who have made an exemplary contribution towards the field of interdisciplinarity.

EIASM believes that interdisciplinarity is needed to ensure that theory-building, empirical research, education and institution-building in management integrate knowledge and progress in an era of increasing specialization.  Interdisciplinarity is essential for the development of the field and the advancement of the theory of management.  Interdisciplinarity provides students and practitioners with relevant knowledge and helps us address the grand and highly complex challenges of contemporary society.

On this significant occasion, Professor Timothy Devinney has given a speech, as the special guest of the EIASM Academic Council meeting, on “Populism, Political Realities and the Arc of History”.
