Journal of Strategy & Innovation

Journal of Strategy & Innovation invites high-quality research that advances understanding of strategy, innovation, and organizational transformation in a rapidly changing world. We welcome submissions from a broad range of contexts, including private industry, public sector organizations, research and technology ecosystems, non-profits, and mission-driven societal initiatives. The journal is particularly interested in work that examines how strategic and innovation practices shape, and are shaped by, technological, economic, environmental, and societal change.

We encourage conceptual, empirical, and interdisciplinary contributions that offer strong theoretical, methodological, or practical insights. Studies may focus on firm-level strategy and innovation, industry and ecosystem dynamics, or the wider policy, societal, and economic implications of technological development.

Within this remit, the journal highlights four illustrative areas of interest that reflect our strategic identity and community. These areas are not restrictive, but serve as examples of topics we particularly welcome:

• Strategic Management in Technology-Intensive and Innovation-Driven Contexts

Including forward-looking strategy, anticipation practices, strategic foresight, and research that bridges the gap between the strategic management community and future-oriented innovation scholarship.

• Impact Assessment in Firms, Innovation Systems, and Policy Contexts

Research developing or applying multi-criteria, qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method approaches to assess the strategic, societal, environmental, or economic impacts of innovation — particularly when connected to strategic decision-making or governance.

• Intellectual Property, Intangible Assets, and Strategic Advantage

Work exploring how intellectual property, data assets, knowledge capital, and other intangibles contribute to competitive dynamics, strategic positioning, value creation, and organizational renewal.

• Deep-Tech Entrepreneurship and Emerging Technology Ventures

Including venture creation, financing, scaling, governance, and commercialization pathways for science- and technology-based innovations.

Beyond these areas, the journal remains open to diverse topics across strategy, innovation, and organization studies, including, but not limited to: innovation policy, societal and ethical implications of technology, sustainability and digital transformation, organizational renewal, collaboration and ecosystems, and new models of innovation.

The Journal of Strategy & Innovation also welcomes high-quality literature reviews that help shape and advance scholarly debate. We particularly encourage reviews that go beyond synthesis by identifying emerging themes, offering fresh conceptual or methodological perspectives, and highlighting promising directions for future research where the journal seeks to foster discourse. Literature reviews that are mainly descriptive or do not open new pathways for meaningful academic debate are unlikely to be considered.
