The AIMS is the largest French-speaking association of scholars in the fields of management, strategy and organizational research.

A journal promoting innovative and inclusive approaches The main objective of M@n@gement is to publish research articles which improve our knowledge of organizational phenomena. The journal encourages creative and novel research which relies on new and non-traditional theories, methods, and/or database. M@n@gement is as an outlet for articles offering a significant theoretical contribution which are of interest to practitioners. The practical relevance of an article may prove indirect, but the key issues and findings presented must be connected to managerial or organizational questions. M@n@gement is also open to research articles that forge links with related disciplines such as sociology, law, philosophy, psychology, economics, history, science communication, and semiotics. M@n@gement is strongly committed to knowledge as a global public good that is inclusive for researchers across the world. Consistent with this commitment, we encourage authors to adopt epistemically just citational practices by being attentive to racialized, gendered, or imperialist hierarchies of knowledge production. This involves (but is not limited to) considering whose works authors cite or do not cite thus reproducing some hierarchies while invisibilizing other forms of knowledge. Scope: strategy and organization studies M@n@gement is a generalist journal in strategy and organization studies. It seeks to publish manuscripts which contribute to the following fields: strategy, organization theory, innovation, entrepreneurship, organizational behavior, business ethics, corporate social responsibility, new forms of organization, critical management studies, sustainability transitions. All data analysis methods, be they quantitative or qualitative, are welcome. The use of original or little-used methods, such as simulation, organizational ethnography (including video ethnography), multi-method approaches, and
