Management & Organizational History (M&OH) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish high quality, original, academic research concerning historical approaches to the study of management, organizations and organizing.
The Journal addresses issues from all areas of management, organization studies, and related fields. The unifying theme of M&OH is its historical orientation. The Journal is both empirical and theoretical. It seeks to advance innovative historical methods. It facilitates interdisciplinary dialogue, especially between business and management history and organization theory. The ethos of M&OH is reflective, ethical, imaginative, critical, inter-disciplinary, and international, as well as historical in orientation.
Management & Organizational History encompasses a broad range of historical approaches to management and organizations, and is not limited to any historical period or geographical area. Issues of interest for management and organization studies may arise from ancient, medieval or modern history; and from diverse geographical and societal settings. In addition to historical studies from management and organization theorists, the Journal is open to accessible historical research from related business disciplines such as marketing, operations management, finance and accounting, human resource management, strategy, technology management, information systems, and political economy. Similarly, papers suitable for publication in the journal may adopt approaches grounded in related historical fields, such as social or cultural history, including the history of design, consumption, memory, and so on.
Organization is interpreted broadly to include public administration and non-capitalist forms of social and economic organization as well as business administration.
The Journal is not restricted to empirical, archival historical research using documentary records of businesses. M&OH specifically welcomes research on sources that are new and original for business and labour history, or for management and organization studies. The Journal is also keen to extend innovative methodological approaches to historical research from organization studies. Theoretical, historiographical, and review essays are therefore invited from a range of perspectives in history, management and organization studies, or other disciplinary areas.
M&OH also welcomes proposals for special issues and themed sections. Please send proposals to the editor.
