Editorial Statement

The Strategic Management Journal seeks to publish the highest quality research with questions, evidence and conclusions that

are relevant to strategic management and engaging to strategic management scholars. We receive manuscripts with a diverse mix

of topics, framings, and methods, and our acceptances reflect this diversity.

More specifically, the Strategic Management Journal seeks to publish papers that develop and/or test theory, explore interesting

phenomena, and evaluate the many methodologies used in our field. We welcome a diverse range of researcher methods and are

open to papers that rely on statistical inference, qualitative studies, conceptual models, computational models and various kinds of

mathematical models.
