European Academy of Management and Business Economics (AEDEM)

What European Academy of Management and Business Economics (AEDEM) does

AEDEM (Academia Europea de Dirección y Economía de la Empresa), founded in 1983 and registered in Spain as a non-profit association (CIF G36702777), is an academic forum for professors and researchers across the disciplines of management, business economics, and business education. The organization operates from campuses in Madrid and Vigo with approximately 18 employees, and its mission centers on promoting teaching and research excellence in Business Sciences through peer-reviewed publishing and recurring international conferences.

Its product portfolio consists of four academic journals — the European Research on Management and Business Economics (ERMBE, published with Elsevier/ScienceDirect, Q1 in SJR, FECYT-sealed), the European Journal of Management and Business Economics (EJM&BE, published with Emerald, AJG2024 2*, FECYT-sealed), the Journal of Management and Business Education (JMBE), and the Academia Revista Latinoamericana de Administración (ARLA) — alongside two annual congress formats: the International Annual Meeting held in Spain (XL edition in Córdoba in 2026) and the International Conference rotated internationally (XXXIII edition upcoming, with rotation to Colombia). Underlying technology is a web platform (redaedem.org) for membership management, announcements, and congress administration, with editorial workflows routed through Editorial Manager and Manuscript Central.

AEDEM's business model is a non-profit subscription-plus-event hybrid: individual academics pay a €99 annual membership fee granting access to the private members' area, reduced congress rates, and discounts on methodology training courses via partner Fundación Camilo Prado; congress registration is priced per attendee by membership tier and modality (€150–€550), and journal revenues flow through publishing partnerships with Elsevier and Emerald. Customer segmentation is horizontal — researchers and academics across Europe (notably Spain and Portugal) and Latin America — with no enterprise or institutional anchor customers identified.

Comparable as a European-focused management academic association with similar membership and conference economics to AEDEM.

Highly comparable operating model to AEDEM with journals, conferences, and membership dues, differing mainly in geographic anchoring and scale.

• European Marketing Academy (EMAC): European academic association for marketing research with annual conference and member-based services. Comparable operating model (membership dues, conference fees, indexed journal presence) overlapping with AEDEM on the marketing research track.
• EGOS (European Group for Organizational Studies): European scholarly association for organizational studies with an annual colloquium and member network. Directly comparable to AEDEM in European academic scope and member-based association model, focused on a sub-discipline of management research.
• ACEDE (Asociación Científica de Economía y Dirección de la Empresa): Spanish academic association for business economics and management, the closest geographic and disciplinary peer to AEDEM. Operates similar model with journals, annual congresses, and member-based governance, directly competing for Spanish academic members and submissions.
• EURAM (European Academy of Management): Pan-European academic association for management research with an annual conference, doctoral colloquium, and membership-based structure. Directly comparable to AEDEM in scope (management research) and member type (European academics), but operates at materially larger scale.
• ANPAD (Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração): Brazilian national association for management research and graduate programs, organizing annual conferences (EnANPAD) and academic journals.

Broad incumbents

• Academy of Management (AOM): The largest global academic association for management research, with multiple journals, an annual meeting attracting ~10,000 scholars, and divisions across management subfields. Comparable in mission and member base but vastly larger and broader than AEDEM's niche European/Latin American focus.

Regional players

• Iberoamerican Academy of Management: International academic association focused on management research across Latin America and Iberia, operating conferences and affiliated with the International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management. Directly overlaps with AEDEM's Latin American footprint and management research scope.
