The role of SAIMS is also to initiate and facilitate the collection and process of relevant information in the field of Management, and to make this information available to interested stakeholders by means of, amongst others, publications, an annual conference and contact between local and international Management Scientists in Southern Africa and abroad.

SAIMS has been known as the forum to discuss management education and research and there are a few exciting new developments that will be implemented in the coming years. The SAIMS-Toyota cooperation is continuing, and this will provide young and upcoming management academics with ample opportunities to improve their knowledge and skills in this field of study.
