Membership in the Industry Studies Association is open to academics from every discipline, researchers in government agencies and non-profit organizations, and other persons who are supportive of the Association’s mission, which is to advance industry studies scholarship. Members find value and share common interest in research that demonstrates significant personal investment in developing an understanding of the markets, firms and institutions that characterize particular industries. The key to participation is shared commitment to a research approach that places great value on direct contact with industry practitioners for insights, data, and observations at the firm, plant, or establishment level.
