The Scandinavian Journal of Management is planning a Special Issue entitled 'Marketing As Practice?'. Please click here for further information and submission details.
We are pleased to announce that from the first issue of volume 23, The Scandinavian Journal of Management has been accepted for coverage by ThomsonReuters (formerly ISI). The journal will be listed in the Social Sciences Citation Index and will receive its first Impact Factor in the 2009 Journal Citation Reports, released in 2010. The journal will be included in the Management subject category within both products.
Description
The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for innovative and carefully crafted research on
different aspects of management. We promote dialogue and new thinking around theory and practice, based on conceptual creativity, reasoned
reflexivity and contextual awareness. We have a passion for empirical inquiry.
We promote constructive dialogue among researchers
as well as between researchers and practitioners. We encourage new approaches to the study of management and we aim to foster new thinking
around management theory and practice.
We publish original empirical and theoretical material, which contributes to understanding
management in private and public organizations. Full-length articles (up to 8.000 words) and book reviews form the core of the journal,
but focused discussion-type texts (around 3.000-5.000 words), empirically or theoretically oriented, can also be considered for publication.
The Scandinavian Journal of Management is open to different research approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology.
We are open to different fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will
not be given priority.
All submissions and review processes for the journal are now carried out electronically through EES ( http://ees.elsevier.com/sjm/)
Reliability has always been our guideline, and EES enables us to further speed up submission and review processes and to offer authors
an opportunity to make use of reasonable lead times in getting their work reviewed and published.
What is Scandinavian about the Scandinavian Journal of Management?
The Scandinavian Journal of Management was founded in 1985, and it has
become a truly international journal where scholars from all over the world publish their work. The name of the journal signifies:
1. Openness. Empirical inquiries driven by curiosity over the exotic nature of mundane organizational life predominate, often in
the form of case studies using qualitative research methods. The journal remains open, however, also to more classical approaches in
the field of management, but it is the task of the proponents of such approaches to prove their worth, rather than vice versa. Openness
is also manifest in the broad thematic profile of the journal.
2. Creativity. Openness relates to interdisciplinary innovation
and novel ways of conceptualizing management-related phenomena. We encourage creative refashioning of existing conceptions of management,
and the introduction of new meanings and nuances into well-known concepts and ideas.
3. Reflexivity. Creativity needs to
be based on serious consideration of the foundations of the research endeavor, and the epistemological and methodological underpinnings
of the theoretical claims made through empirical inquiry. In brief, the role and impact of the researcher/s in research needs to be addressed
and thought out.
The Editorial Team of the Scandinavian Journal of Management seeks to embody these principles in running
the journal. Being Scandinavian and Nordic is a state of mind. Our talent pool and audience is the whole wide world all those interested
in innovative management research.
Our Editorial Team consists of Editor Janne Tienari and Associate Editors Hanne Harmsen, Juha
Laurila, Inger Johanne Pettersen, Robyn Thomas and Andreas Werr. Within our Team, we maintain a decentralized editorial system where
the associate editors will be assigned responsibility for individual manuscripts, which fall in their particular areas of expertise.
Our Book Review Editor Hervé Corvellec runs a section, which features reviews on recent books by well-known scholars, but also
on more avantgarde or marginal works and on books published in languages other than English. We want to provide our readers with reviews
on interesting books that other major journals are unlikely to cover.
Beyond a constant regular inflow of quality manuscripts, special
issues provide in many ways the extra spice for scientific journals. They have been a prominent feature of the Scandinavian Journal
of Management, too. Our Editorial Team will maintain the policy of the journal in encouraging top class special issues on timely
and relevant themes
On behalf of our Editorial Team, I would like to invite you to consider the Scandinavian Journal of Management
as a potential outlet for your work, as a relevant journal to do reviews for or just to enjoy a good read.
