NEW YORK, March 16, 2005—American Management Association (AMA), the world’s leading membership-based management education and development organization, is now collaborating with the Human Resource Institute (HRI), an independent research group based at the University of Tampa, to provide AMA members and customers with the latest research, news and information on business issues and workplace trends.
HRI publishes in-depth reports, white papers and other
editorial materials on “people management” issues
faced by organizations today. The institute has more than
100 corporate members that participate in timely surveys

development, and HRI will conduct in-depth research studies

seminars, conferences, publications and newsletters. AMA
members will also have an opportunity to participate in
HRI surveys.

to offer more resources, information and support, particularly
to our corporate members and customers, on the latest trends
and challenges affecting managers and other executives today.
