Strategic Management

 

Welcome to the Strategic Management SIG!

Mission and scopes

The Strategic Management Special Interest Group (SIG) is devoted to promong state of the art strategic thinking by encouraging dialogue among several interrelated lines of inquiry crucial for increasing scholarly and managerial understanding regarding strategic choice, competitive advantage, adaptation, and long-term performance and survival.

History

The SIG was launched at the EURAM 2010 conference in Rome attracting close to a hundred submissions including the best conference paper of the year. Since then the SIG has gone from strength to strength.

We are committed to each year bring together scholars from all around the world to engage in the development and exchange of high-quality research ideas with the potential to fertilize and drive the future directions of scholarly and practitioner strategic thinking alike. 

Submissions and tracks

Empirical, conceptual, and practitioner-oriented papers from a plurality of theoretical perspectives, units of analyses, contexts, and research designs are welcome, with particular encouragement for those integrating multiple theoretical lenses and/or methodological approaches. All submitted papers have been reviewed on a double-blind basis by two reviewers.

A key pillar of our success is the high-caliber academics that chair our sessions and help authors develop their ideas. These scholars will bring their ample experience from publishing and serving on the editorial boards of leading journals such as Strategic Management Journal, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Management Science, Organization Science, and Journal of Management  Studies to engage with you in state-of-the-art dialogues in strategic management.
