Aims and Objectives
Long Range Planning is one of the leading international journals in the field of strategic management
that is published six times a year. It features articles which offer original research that bridge the gap between academia and practice.
We aim to influence the behaviour of senior managers, administrators and to influence academic thinking.
LRP has a large print
run of several thousand hard copies that goes to all the major academic libraries, many corporations and individual executives (including
members of the Strategic Planning Society). We also offer unrivalled accessibility via the web - last year our articles were downloaded
from www.sciencedirect.com more than 170,000 times.
We know from our feedback that practitioners find us both topical
and relevant. Our typical readers are executives with a good MBA and senior academics actively involved in practice. Our pieces are often
used in high level executive courses: for example one of the largest users of LRP is Harvard Business School.
Our goal is to be
essential reading for senior managers, and those involved in executive education. We note that the Financial Times lists us as a key
journal of influence (used when ranking Business Schools). We are regularly ranked alongside the Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management
Review, California Management Review and Academy of Management Executive and our material is often reported in the Press.
Most of
our contributors are academics whose research, teaching or consulting places them close to management practice. They engage with current
issues, concerns and trends in the business world. Our authors range from the very famous and well published strategy gurus to the up-coming
young academics who will be the stars of the future. We publish work from across the world, and non-native English speakers benefit from
our non-intrusive text editing that improves accessibility of important contributions from other cultures. We have contributions from
all the Triad regions that keep readers in touch with global developments in strategy.
