The Management Society was founded in 1977 by Dean Merrill J. Bateman as an organization of alumni and friends of the BYU College of Business—now Marriott School of Management. Membership includes not only BYU and Marriott School alumni, but many other business professionals with the same desire for professional advancement, high ethical standards, career development, and continuing education. Twenty-Five years after its founding, the management society is an influential organization with about 6,000 members in 40 U.S. cities and 10 countries.

On behalf of the Arizona Management Society board, we are announcing our final luncheon event for the 2008-2009 season, and we wish to thank all of our members for making participation at our luncheons a priority this season.
We will end the year with a special Dean's Seminar event. Please join us in welcoming Dr. Philip Bryson from Brigham Young University, as our luncheon speaker on Thursday, May 14th.
Dr. Bryson will address a very relevant topic for our day entitled "Where is Anti-Capitalism Today?" Over 15 years after the decline of Marxist-Leninist socialism in the Soviet Union and East Europe, the transition toward capitalism and democracy moves forward. But the anti-capitalist, anti-corporation forces of the past have not disappeared. While many countries have abandoned their old ways of economic development, anti-globalization forces argue that free economies and free trade produce a playing field that's far from equal. What is the future of and the hazards from the anti-market sentiment that persists?
