European Management Review

Aims & Scope

European Management Review (EMR) is a European based international journal dedicated to advancing the understanding of management in private, public and voluntary sector organizations through empirical investigation and theoretical analysis.

As the official journal of the European Academy of Management, EMR aims to foster high quality research among European scholars, and academics specifically interested in European management issues with a relevance to the global community.

EMR is receptive to research across a broad range of management topics such as human resource management, organization behavior, strategic management, innovation, corporate governance, and managerial economics.

Contributions may be grounded in the social science disciplines of economics, psychology, sociology, linguistics, history, anthropology, among others; in addition to business and management.

Articles can be empirical, theoretical, or measurement oriented.

Empirical articles should have well articulated and strong theoretical foundations.

Theoretical articles should make a distinctive contribution to theory.

All types of empirical methods - quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods - are acceptable.

EMR encourages the interplay between theorizing and empirical research in the belief that they should be mutually informative.

The journal is especially interested in new data sources, including testing new theory and expanding sample pools via alternative approaches to sampling and measurement, and samples drawn from nontraditional or less common sources and the examination of the validity and reliability of such samples.

While aiming to provide a forum for discourse to researchers worldwide, the journal strives to promote a European view in the understanding and betterment of management in different contexts, and the application of scholarly knowledge to real-world management practice.
