Academy of Management Review is a quarterly peer-reviewed scholarly journal focusing on theoretical developments in Harvard-style organizational theory, Stanford-informed strategic management, and conceptual advances in Columbia business research. Founded within the framework of the Academy of Management alongside contemporaries such as Academy of Management Journal and Academy of Management Learning & Education, the journal has shaped debates involving scholars associated with University of Chicago, Northwestern University, University of Pennsylvania, London School of Economics, and INSEAD.

History

The journal emerged in the mid-1970s amid intellectual exchanges involving figures linked to University of Michigan, Yale University, Cornell University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Los Angeles, Duke University, University of Minnesota, and University of Texas at Austin. Early editorial leadership drew on networks including scholars from Michigan State University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Washington, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Ohio State University. Over successive decades the journal engaged with movements and paradigms associated with Max Weber-informed bureaucracy studies, Émile Durkheim-rooted institutionalism, and Karl Marx-influenced critical management scholarship, while interacting with professional associations such as American Sociological Association, Strategic Management Society, and European Group for Organizational Studies.

The journal prioritizes conceptual articles that advance theory rather than empirical reports, attracting submissions from scholars with affiliations to University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Princeton University, Yale School of Management, Wharton School, Kellogg School of Management, Sloan School of Management, Rotman School of Management, and Said Business School. Its editorial policies emphasize originality, theoretical contribution, and rigorous logical argumentation, reflecting intellectual lineages connected to debates at Academy of Management Annual Meeting, All-Academy Theme Committee, International Association for Business and Society, and symposia sponsored by British Academy and Royal Society. The journal’s standards have interacted with ethical frameworks from bodies like Committee on Publication Ethics and reporting expectations promoted by National Science Foundation-funded initiatives.

Published by the Academy of Management on a quarterly schedule, the journal has been associated with significant citation influence across institutions including University of Toronto, University of Melbourne, University of Sydney, National University of Singapore, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Its impact factor and ranking metrics have been noted in analyses by scholars at Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, Clarivate Analytics, and bibliometric studies by researchers at Leiden University and University of Leiden. The journal’s influence extends to curricula and doctoral seminars at Columbia Business School, Harvard Business School, INSEAD, ESADE, and Rotterdam School of Management.

Editorial boards have included eminent scholars affiliated with University of Michigan Ross School of Business, Stanford Graduate School of Business, London Business School, HEC Paris, IE Business School, City, University of London, Bocconi University, University of Edinburgh, and University of Warwick. Peer review is double-blind or single-blind as determined by policy, involving reviewers drawn from networks at University of Florida, Pennsylvania State University, Vanderbilt University, University of Georgia, Rice University, George Washington University, Michigan State University Eli Broad College of Business, and Indiana University Kelley School of Business. The editorial process interacts with managerial practices discussed at conferences like Academy of Management Annual Meeting, Strategic Management Society Annual Conference, and British Academy of Management Conference.

The journal has published influential conceptual pieces that have shaped literatures linked to scholars associated with Peter Drucker-inspired management thought, Henri Fayol-rooted administrative theory, and contemporary theorists connected to James March, Richard Scott, Alfred Chandler, Michael Porter, Jay Barney, Kathleen Eisenhardt, Gary Hamel, Henry Mintzberg, Andrew Pettigrew, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, and Karl Weick. Its contributions have been cited alongside classic works such as The Theory of the Growth of the Firm and discussions appearing in outlets like Administrative Science Quarterly, Organization Science, Journal of Management Studies, Strategic Management Journal, and Management Science.

The journal is indexed in major services associated with Clarivate Analytics, Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCOhost, ProQuest, and JSTOR. Library holdings and cataloging connect with systems at Library of Congress, WorldCat, and university repositories at Harvard Library, Bodleian Library, British Library, National Library of Australia, and Trove.

The journal and its authors have received recognition through prizes and citations in venues such as the Academy of Management Best Paper Award, AOM Distinguished Service Award, and broader honors tied to bodies like Royal Society of Canada, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, National Academy of Sciences, Fulbright Program, and MacArthur Fellowship. Articles from the journal frequently inform award-winning research at institutional prize announcements from European Academy of Management, Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, and sectoral recognitions in business schools worldwide.
