The Asociación Científica de Economía y Dirección de la Empresa (ACEDE-Spanish Academy of Management) gathers around 700 university professors whose goal is to foster research on the main issues raised by the management of business companies and other organizations, as well as to facilitate knowledge dissemination among both students and managers. Its members are mostly scholars affiliated with universities and research centers in Spain, although with an increasing number of colleagues from Latin America and Europe.
