To the members of IMD,
This message announces that Global Strategy Journal is now accepting electronic submissions for regular, double-blind reviewed issues. The first volume based on these manuscripts is planned for 2012. All manuscripts considered for submission must be sent to GSJ's online submission site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gsj
Global Strategy Journal is intended to be a top-tier scholarly journal dedicated to publishing articles concerned with the theory and practice of global and international strategic management, to include articles addressing topics concerning the impact of the international environment on strategic management and the form and management of international or multinational organizations. The domain of GSJ, as implied by the journal name, will be the study of any and all aspects of the environment, organizations, institutions, systems, individuals, actions, and decisions that are a part of or impinge on the practice or study of strategy and strategic management of business and non-business organizations in the global context. By global, we explicitly mean any cross-border activities described as international, global, transnational, multinational, multi-regional or by any other term that substantially implies that the activities take place in multiple countries and/or are integrated across borders. This is an expansive vision which is intended to be inclusive of both current and emergent areas of study. The journal will be defined clearly by its focus on international and global organizational strategic management, rather than a universalistic approach to the study of strategy.
The pursuit of research in international strategic management will apply, test, extend, and build theory that is derived from or impacts the general discipline of strategic management. Empirical studies may be quantitative or qualitative, but must investigate data that are, in some way, international in scope, and will be expected to apply, examine, and extend research methods derived from strategic management research and research in other social science disciplines; they may also offer both methodological advances and analytical results that can be generalized to the larger field of strategic management and possibly other disciplines as well. Primarily empirical investigations, whether based on quantitative, qualitative, or case-based data and methods, that provide scholarly insights into the study of international strategic management through methodological rigor and relevant and important results, even with limited explicit testing or development of management theory, also fall within the domain of GSJ. The journal also is explicitly interested in conceptual papers that are grounded in social sciences theory and that further the development of theory in global strategy or strategic management. Finally, GSJ is specifically committed to respect methodological and philosophical differences across national scholarly traditions, while still maintaining high standards of academic quality and rigor.
