Management and Organizational History

Aims & Scope

Management & Organizational History ( M&OH) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish high quality, original, academic research concerning historical approaches to the study of management, organizations and organizing.

The Journal addresses issues from all areas of management, organization studies, and related fields.

The unifying theme of M&OH is its historical orientation.

The Journal is both empirical and theoretical.

It seeks to advance innovative historical methods.

It facilitates interdisciplinary dialogue, especially between business and management history and organization theory.

The ethos of M&OH is reflective, ethical, imaginative, critical, inter-disciplinary, and international, as well as historical in orientation. [...] The Journal is not restricted to empirical, archival historical research using documentary records of businesses.

M&OH specifically welcomes research on sources that are new and original for business and labour history, or for management and organization studies.

The Journal is also keen to extend innovative methodological approaches to historical research from organization studies.

Theoretical, historiographical, and review essays are therefore invited from a range of perspectives in history, management and organization studies, or other disciplinary areas.
