I am very saddened by this unexpected news. I did not know Ann well but the highlight of my Academy of Management meetings was running into Ann and getting a warm hug from her.
The world is a little less bright today.
I am honoring her memory by donating to the MS Society.

IABS Statement: Ann Buchholtz
Today we mourn the passing of one of our dearest colleagues – Ann Buccholtz. Ann, to many of us, played multiple roles – a friend, colleague, co-author, reviewer, Editorial Board member, mentor, and fellow committee member. The many ways in which we individually – and collectively – know Ann is a testament to her generous nature.
Ann was generous with her time, and generous in spirit. Many of us will have first encountered Ann as the co-author of a business & society text we read as students, most of us will have gone on to know Ann through her scholarly contributions to JBE, BEQ, AMR, AMJ, JMS and others, almost all of us will have come to know Ann as a warm friend and mentor who always had time for a chat. I first met Ann at an IABS conference many years ago – Ann recognised me as a new member of the association and welcomed me to the organisation, introduced me to others, and took me under her wing. At the SIM Board Meeting in Vancouver, where Ann was presented with the Sumner Marcus Award, friends and colleagues rose in a spontaneous standing ovation to acknowledge a pillar of our community.
One aspect of Ann’s life and work that resonates strongly with me, as I reflect on how I know her, is that Ann didn’t strive for work-life balance – she integrated it. Her scholarly work was committed to decency in management, how companies can be good, and how organisations can make a meaningful contribution to the communities in which they operate. She is a scholar who lived by these values – she was a standout contributor to the community in which she worked, and she was the very embodiment of decency.
Our thoughts go out to Ann’s brother and family. We will work with SIM to honour Ann’s legacy.
Ann, we honour you and everything you stood for and worked towards. We will miss you. Rest in peace.
To laugh often and love much;
to win the respect of intelligent persons
and the affection of children;
to earn the approbation of honest critics
and to endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to give of one's self;
to leave the world a little better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm
and sung with exultation;
to know that even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived,
this is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
