Original Research
This section is dedicated to rigorous empirical studies that advance management theory and business practice. We prioritize submissions that present novel datasets, innovative methodologies, and statistically robust findings. Authors must explicitly articulate their contribution to existing organizational literature, demonstrating how their work fills a critical research gap while offering actionable managerial implications. Manuscripts submitted to this section should range between 6,000 and 8,000 words, excluding references.
Review Article
We invite authoritative syntheses of the current state of business scholarship, including systematic literature reviews, meta-analyses, and bibliometric studies. Submissions should go beyond mere description; they must critically evaluate existing paradigms, resolve inconsistencies in prior findings, and construct a cohesive research agenda to structure the field. To allow for comprehensive depth, these manuscripts should generally fall between 7,000 and 10,000 words, excluding references.
Perspective
This section serves as a forum for conceptual papers and expert commentaries that challenge the status quo of management thought. We seek forward-looking arguments that propose new theoretical lenses, frameworks, or strategic models without the requirement for primary empirical data. Contributions should foster high-level debate on emerging trends and offer fresh insights into complex organizational phenomena, with a typical length of 3,000 to 5,000 words, excluding references.
Case Study
We welcome in-depth investigations of contemporary business problems, organizational interventions, and strategic implementations. Submissions must provide a rich contextual analysis that bridges the divide between academic theory and corporate reality. Authors are expected to distill generalizable "lessons learned" that offer transferrable value to practitioners and industry leaders. Manuscripts in this category are expected to be between 4,000 and 6,000 words, excluding references.
Editorial
Exclusively reserved for the EJBM Editors and Guest Editors, this section addresses the strategic direction of the journal and the broader business community. Editorials provide context for special issues, comment on evolving policy landscapes, or highlight significant developments in management science. Unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted, and contributions should not exceed 2,500 words, excluding references.
