European Journal of International Management (EJIM) - published 6 times per year - is continuing to accept original papers dedicated to the issues of international management in Europe and around the world.
EJIM is the first international journal devoted entirely to fostering an understanding of issues in international management theory and practice in the newly expanded European arena – including the underrepresented regions of Northern, Central and Eastern Europe – and to providing both conceptual and functional implications useful for the further development of research, teaching practices, and managerial techniques. EJIM solicits literature that allows for a broader interpretation of research – it welcomes not only papers which adhere to the most common research standards (i.e., largely based on hypothesis testing using quantitative methods), but also those that introduce a more European perspective through qualitative and interdisciplinary contributions.
The main objective of EJIM is to establish and maintain an outlet for scholars interested in a variety of topics in international management in Europe. EJIM's publications are aimed not only at the academic community preoccupied with purely conceptual research, but also at other academics actively involved in transferring theoretical wisdom into actionable knowledge. In general, EJIM is designed to serve a slightly wider segment of the academic audience by containing strong implications for both teaching and practicing communities, while still maintaining both academic quality and rigor. EJIM publishes original papers, case studies, book reviews, commentaries, and conference notes. Special issues dedicated to important topics in European international management are published on the occasional basis. Despite its European orientation, EJIM welcomes authors from all over the world, including North America, Asia, and South-Pacific.
EJIM also publishes a regular section that includes a synopsis of important findings from articles appearing in any relevant non-English journals in Europe, Asia, South America, etc. The benefits of this feature are threefold:
- it is a great opportunity for English-language authors to get familiarized with leading research topics worldwide
- it is a good opportunity for both PhD students and academics to form a bridge between their native-language research community and the English-speaking research community
- it is a good chance for the young and/or unknown scholars from many non-English speaking countries to have a media outlet where they can showcase their latest findings in a relevant area of knowledge
Among our regular authors are such academic "heavyweights" as Geert Hofstede, Ikujiro Nonaka, John Dunning, Nancy Adler, Shalom Schwartz, Peter Buckley, Randall Schuler, Joe Cheng, Anne-Wil Harzing, Cary Cooper, Sheila Puffer, Frank Hoy, Rebecca Piekkari, Ingmar Bjorkman, etc.
Currently, a hard copy of the journal is distributed to at least 45 institutions of higher education around the world, plus in the online electronic format to thousands of subscribers of MetaPress and IngentaConnect academic databases (together offering more than 20 million articles from 30,000 publications, including 10,000 online).
Here is what some experts say about EJIM:
With the rising interest and reputation of European scholars in international management and business, the launch of this journal could not be more timely. EJIM deserves both to attract the highest quality papers from researchers and practitioners throughout the world and to command the widest possible readership.
John H. Dunning, Emeritus Professor of International Business , University of Reading, UK and Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA
Most journals in the management field that claim to be international actually reflect U.S. thinking. The European Journal of International Management has shown itself refreshingly international in its outlook, and in the access it offers to contributions from the rest of the world, extending way beyond its European base.
Geert Hofstede, Professor Emeritus, University of Maastricht, the Netherlands
The European Journal of International Management is now leading the way for research in the field of international business and management. It is making a significant contribution to the scholarly leaders in the field, with contributions from leading academics throughout the world. This journal is a "must" for anyone interested in international business and management, and top rate science.
