Andy Van de Ven’s Wonderfully Full Life

In this short paper we recognize and celebrate the life and contributions of Andy Van de Ven, a renowned professor at the University of Minnesota and a former president of the Academy of Management. Andy published in JABS multiple times over his career and was a longtime member of its editorial board. His work was exemplary for many things, including his formulation of engaged scholarship, his creativity, his multiple innovations in theory and practice, and the ways he inspired so many others. Without him the Academy, writ large, would have been much poorer.
