Academy of Management Annals

Aims & Scope

The mission of Annals is to publish up-to-date, in-depth and integrative reviews of research advances in management.

Often called "reviews with an attitude," Annals papers summarize and/or challenge established assumptions and concepts, pinpoint problems and factual errors, inspire discussions, and illuminate possible avenues for further study.

Reviews published in Annals move above and beyond descriptions of the field – they motivate conceptual integration and set agendas for future research. 'It's an exceptional volume—and exceptionally timely to boot.

I found myself trying to put this new Annals in perspective.

I tried, in particular, to cast a rather hard and critical light on this volume: Just how essential is it for the time-starved and besieged scholar to have yet another thing to keep up with?

Do we really need, in short, yet another annual volume?

The answer I gave myself to this question was a resounding, ''Yes!''' Review in International Public Management Journal (2008) ANNALS is released in January and July.
