Organizational Dynamics' domain is primarily organizational behavior and development and secondarily, HRM and strategic management. The objective is to link leading-edge thought and research with management practice. Thus Organizational Dynamics is looking for articles that embody both theoretical and practical content, showing how research findings can help deal more effectively with the dynamics of organizational life.

Style
Organizational Dynamics is looking for a lively, lucid writing style. On the one hand, you will need to use the terminology of the discipline. On the other hand, remember that half of the Organizational Dynamics readers are practising managers. Thus, provide contextual clarification for terms these readers may find obscure; illustrate abstract concepts and models using examples from contemporary organizations.

Length
In general, manuscripts run between 23-28 pages, double spaced with a one-inch margin. It is also very important to use a courier 12pt typefont.

Executive Summary
A 250 word or less summary of the article. It should capture the essence of the article and entice the reader.

Citations and Documentation
Note that articles in Organizational Dynamics do not contain formal footnotes, endnotes, or APA-style referencing. When citations are absolutely necessary, they should be included in the body of the manuscript, using parentheses for publication data. When building on the work of other writers, you may want to make a general citation in your text, such as "theories advanced by so-and-so". Then, use the Selected Bibliography at the end of the article for full citation.

The Selected Bibliography
This is an addendum to the manuscript, written in relatively informal expository style. It serves two purposes: (1) acknowledgment of published works that influenced your article, and (2) recommendations on where the reader can find more information on points of interest. A typical Selected Bibliography cites six or seven significant articles, monographs, or books together with statements describing what the reader would find in each.

Submission
Only electronic submissions will be accepted for review. Please submit your article in an attached WORD document to fluthans1@unl.edu. When the author's submission is received, the editorial review process will be initiated
