Academy of Management Perspectives

Published quarterly in February, May, August, and November

The mission of Academy of Management Perspectives (AMP) is to inform current and future “thought leaders” who, through their leadership, teaching, consulting, and/or other professional activities have the potential to influence management practice and policy. These include educators and their students, business writers, consultants, executives, policy makers, and other practitioners seeking innovative, evidence-based approaches for addressing timely and important management issues. AMP publishes papers that bridge scholarly research and practice that are based on research evidence. This evidence can be quantitative or qualitative, focusing on one study, or summarizing the results of several studies in a particular line of research. AMP will not publish opinion pieces. Articles should strive to explicate a set of findings in a manner that focuses on implications for policy and practice, rather than on implications for theory. Articles might include practitioner or policy-oriented reviews of empirical studies, descriptive articles that advance our understanding of management practices or strategic approaches, and articles describing the practice and/or policy implications of evidence-based work.

To fit with AMP’s mission, an article must be relevant, rigorous, and readable. Specifically, AMP articles must:

  • Inform an issue of evident importance to managerial practice and/or policy, and 
  • Engage in rigorous and original conceptual or empirical analysis, and
  • Concisely and clearly convey key ideas to a non-specialized audience

Please review our Open Call for Papers before submitting your work to AMP. We are NOT the same as all other journals. We aim to matter to managers, and so your work must be framed as such from the start. Do not simply paste managerial implications onto a standard academic article. The managerial issue must be the paper’s central focus, not a byproduct of a theory driven paper.
