Scandinavian Journal of Management

ISSN: 0956-5221
5 Year impact factor: 2.9
Impact factor: 2

The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for innovative and carefully crafted research on different aspects of management. We promote dialogue and new thinking around theory and practice, based on conceptual creativity, reasoned reflexivity and contextual awareness. We have a passion for empirical inquiry.We promote constructive dialogue among researchers as well as between researchers and practitioners. We encourage new approaches to the study of management and we aim to foster new thinking around management theory and practice.We publish original empirical and theoretical material, which contributes to understanding management in private and public organizations. Full-length articles and book reviews form the core of the journal, but focused discussion-type texts (around 3.000-5.000 words), empirically or theoretically oriented, can also be considered for publication.The Scandinavian Journal of Management is open to different research approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology. We are open to different fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will not be given priority.What is Scandinavian about the Scandinavian Journal of Management?The Scandinavian Journal of Management was founded in 1984, and it has become a truly international journal where scholars from all over the world publish their work. The name of the journal signifies:1. Openness: Empirical inquiries driven by curiosity over the exotic nature of mundane organizational life predominate, often in the form of case studies using qualitative research methods. The journal remains open, however, also to more classical approaches in the field of management, but it is the task of the proponents of such approaches to prove their worth, rather than vice versa. Openness is also manifest in the broad thematic profile of the journal.2. Creativity: Openness relates to interdisciplinary innovation and novel ways of conceptualizing management-related phenomena. We encourage creative refashioning of existing conceptions of management, and the introduction of new meanings and nuances into well-known concepts and ideas.3. Reflexivity: Creativity needs to be based on serious consideration of the foundations of the research endeavor, and the epistemological and methodological underpinnings of the theoretical claims made through empirical inquiry. In brief, the role and impact of the researcher/s in research needs to be addressed and thought out.The Editorial Team of the Scandinavian Journal of Management seeks to embody these principles in running the journal. Being Scandinavian and Nordic is a state of mind. Our talent pool and audience is the whole wide world all those interested in innovative management research.Beyond a constant regular inflow of quality manuscripts, special issues provide in many ways the extra spice for scientific journals. They have been a prominent feature of the Scandinavian Journal of Management, too. Our Editorial Team will maintain the policy of the journal in encouraging top class special issues on timely and relevant themesOn behalf of our Editorial Team, I would like to invite you to consider the Scandinavian Journal of Management as a potential outlet for your work, as a relevant journal to do reviews for, or just to enjoy a good read.

Socio-Economic Planning Sciences

ISSN: 0038-0121
5 Year impact factor: 5.9
Impact factor: 6.2

The International Journal of Public Sector Decision-MakingDuring the last several years, there has been substantial and important growth in the application of quantitative analysis, i.e., operations research/management science, statistics, and related arenas, to interdisciplinary problems arising in the area of socio-economic planning and development.Socio-Economic Planning Sciences is an international journal devoted exclusively to research in this important, but under-represented area. It provides a medium for research that might not appear in more specialized journals, either because of the interdisciplinary or applied character of the study, or the mathematical/quantitative nature of the research. The journal thus serves as a focus for investigations that have hitherto appeared in widely-scattered sources and/or less-than-appropriate sources.Socio-Economic Planning Sciences strongly encourages contributions dealing with applications of quantitative models and techniques to important decision problems in the service and public sectors. Of particular interest are accounts of such studies carried out in developing countries and economically emerging regions of the world. Review articles in important methodological and substantive areas are also of interest.The principal criterion used in evaluating a manuscript submitted to the journal is: uniqueness or innovation of the work in terms of the methodology being developed, and/or its application to a problem of particular importance in the public or service sector and/or the setting within which the effort is being made, e.g. an emerging region of the world. That is to say, of the model/methodology itself, the application, and the problem context, at least one of these must be unique and important.Additional criteria considered in reviewing a submitted paper are its accuracy, the organization/presentation (i.e. logical flow), and writing quality.Representative of the topic areas included in the journal are the following:Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry.Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution.Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.

Technological Forecasting and Social Change

ISSN: 0040-1625
5 Year impact factor: 13
Impact factor: 12.9

A major forum for those wishing to deal directly with the methodology and practice of technological forecasting and future studies as planning tools as they interrelate social, environmental and technological factors.MISSIONTFSC invites submissions that focus on technology and its impact on society. Technology provides opportunities for growth and innovation by offering the means for introducing novel or improved products, services, and processes that have the potential to provide additional value to societal actors. This technological innovation can be directed at optimizing existing business activities, extending into new business areas, pushing the frontiers of markets, and contributing to mitigating and adopting socioeconomic and environmental challenges. Tapping into the innovation potential of technology and evaluating its impact requires moving across three major fields of research: First, forecasting the emergence, development, and impact of technologies. Second, taking managerial decisions at the organizational and industrial level to materialize the innovation potential of technologies. Third, examining and evaluating the multifaced effects that the implementation of technological innovations have on society, organizations, and the environment. TFSC is committed to publishing research that significantly contributes to both theory and practice.THE FOCUS OF TECHNOLOGICAL FORECASTING AND SOCIAL CHANGE: WHAT WE AIM TO PUBLISH AND WHAT WE DO NOT PUBLISHTFSC invites submissions that focus on technology and its impact on society. Technology provides opportunities for growth and innovation by offering the means for introducing novel or improved products, services, and processes that have the potential to provide additional value to societal actors. This technological innovation can be directed at optimizing existing business activities, extending into new business areas, pushing the frontiers of markets, and contributing to mitigating and adopting socioeconomic and environmental challenges.Tapping into the innovation potential of technology and evaluating its impact requires moving across three majorfields of research.First, the future characteristics of technologies need to be forecasted. This implies observing and analyzing the emergence and development of novel technologies and assessing their potential functioning and impact on society. Technological forecasting is also indispensable to make informed decisions about investing resources, developing new products, planning for policy implications, and strategically positioning technological innovations in a competitive market. Moreover, it is a vital tool that helps organizations adapt to technological change and plan for the future with greater certainty. Manuscripts focused on forecasting the emergence, development, and impact of technologies should be submitted to the Technological Forecasting and Modelling bureau of TFSC. Second, materializing the innovation potential of technologies and ensuring that it becomes instrumental in advancing businesses, economies and societal goals requires managerial decisions. Such managerial decisions for example concern choices between technologies, allocation of resources to technological innovation initiatives, organizational change to enable technological transformation. Here the focus is on research on the management of technologies rather than technologies that support managerial decisions. Research that informs decisions in technology management at the organizational and industrial level should be submitted to the Management of Technology bureau of TFSC. Third, research efforts are needed to examine and evaluate the multifaceted effects of technological advancements on society, organizations, and the environment. This area of study builds on contributions that seek to understand the direct and indirect consequences of technology implementation, ranging from its economic implications to social changes, without forgetting about environmental effects. The ultimate goal is to provide assessments that can inform policymakers, businesses, and the public about the benefits and risks associated with the deployment of technological innovations. This field of research also emphasizes the importance of tracking the impact of technologies over time and across different settings. Moreover, this focus can involve not just assessing the outcomes of technology implementation, but also the processes by which technologies are integrated and adopted. Research in this domain should be submitted to the Impact and Evaluation of Technology bureau of TFSC.Fourth, developing appropriate institutional structures, regulatory frameworks and decision-making processes is essential for ensuring that innovative technologies equitably address societal challenges while managing associated risks. This implies understanding how different approaches can effectively facilitate and guide the diffusion and deployment of technologies, encompassing studies of regulatory innovation, policy experimentation, and governance models that can adapt to rapidly evolving technologies. It asks how different stakeholders - including government bodies, technical experts, industry players, civil society organizations, and the public - can be effectively engaged in technology governance processes. Manuscripts focused on understanding how governance of emerging technologies can foster sociotechnical progress while protecting public interests should be submitted to the Technology Governance and Public Policy bureau of TFSC.During the submission process, authors are responsible for carefully selecting the bureau in which their study should be assessed for potential publication in TFSC. We also encourage submissions taking a more holistic approach to the study of technology and its impact on society, by covering thematic areas that are relevant for more than one bureau. It is also important to highlight that manuscripts looking into individual, organizational, or societal factors that impact technological development are out of scope. Moreover, TFSC does not publish research that focuses on social change only, unless authors examine this change through the lens of specific technological developments. All manuscripts published in TFSC are expected to make substantial theoretical and practical contributions. Practical contributions can be translated into recommendations for management practice but also as policy implications. These contributions need to be explicitly spelled out and well-rooted in the findings of your study. To substantially advance our understanding of technology and its impact on society, submissions have to be rooted inan effective, consistent, and current theoretical basis. An effective theoretical underpinning enables researchers to frame the subject matter under investigation. For a theory base to be consistent, all ideas developed in the manuscript need to build on a theoretical framework with matching ontological and epistemological basic assumptions. The theoretical underpinning is current if authors effectively leverage state-of-the-art knowledge provided in scientific publications. TFSC will not publish manuscripts that lack a strong theoretical contribution, methodological development, and practical implications. TFSC also desk reject papers that violate submission or ethical guidelines as outlined in the guide for authors on the journal webpage.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
