Aims & Scope

The European Management Journal is a generalist, academic review covering all management fields. The EMJ aims to present the latest thinking and research on major management topics. While meeting high academic quality standards, articles are interesting and accessible to non-specialists. Articles should be an accessible source of useful information and ideas for practitioners and students. Interdisciplinary research and cross-functional issues are particularly favoured, as well as cross-cultural investigations. The Journal takes a broad view of business and management and encourages submissions from other disciplines if they contribute significantly to problems considered by managers and researchers. Qualitative methodologies and case-based studies are welcome.
