About Strategic Management Review

The Strategic Management Review (SMR) publishes ideas that matter for strategic management research. Specifically, the SMR features provocative essays and forward-looking reviews to guide the questions tackled by research in the field. The journal also aims to promote integration of strategic management research by encouraging research closely connected with the field’s canonical problems as defined by management practice. The SMR complements existing strategic management outlets that emphasize empirical research.
