The mission is to provide new and practical insights that link leading-edge thought and research with management practice that is written in a style that is engaging for managers and students in executive education and MBA programs. The purpose of articles in Organizational Dynamics is to present applications of current and well-researched knowledge that helps practicing managers to be more effective in their managerial roles. While we do not publish research reporting tests of hypotheses or inferential statistics, we do publish articles that apply research findings in language and style that engages practitioners.

Remember the Mission, Purpose and Audience

As noted in mission and purpose above, Organizational Dynamics' domain is primarily organizational behavior and secondarily, HRM and strategic management. The objective is to link leading-edge thought and research with management practice. Thus, Organizational Dynamics is seeking articles that embody practical content that shows how research can help managers deal effectively with the dynamics of organizational life.

Follow our style

Organizational Dynamics seeks articles written in a lively and clear style. While authors may need to use the terminology of the discipline, they must make those terms and academic wording clear to managers.  Thus, authors must provide contextual clarification for terms used. Authors must also ensure they have followed the Important Guidance provided for statistics as well as citations and documentation within the Additional Information section of Writing and Formatting.
