IACMR Publications
 


Management and Organization Review (MOR) is the official journal of the IACMR, jointly sponsored by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Peking University. First published in 2005, the journal is already ISI-listed with an international reach, and a readership that spans over 3,000 research institutions. It is dedicated to advancing global knowledge on management and organizations and aims to publish innovative research in three domains:

1.        Fundamental research in management;

2.        International, comparative and cross-cultural management research;

3.        Chinese management research, including research on the management and organization of Chinese companies both in and outside of China and multinational companies operating in China.

   Based on the 2010 SSCI Impact Factor report, we are proud to announce: 

MOR’s Debut Impact Factor

* SSCI Impact Factor = 2.806

* Rank among 140 management journals = 22

*Rank excluding IS/OR/OM journals = 15.



Chinese Management Insights is a Chinese-English bilingual publication that converts leading academic research on China-related topics into summaries that can be easily read and used by managers. These summaries exclude most of the academic theory, research methodology and literature references that are in the original full papers, and focus on what is directly useful to managers. Most of the papers come from Management and Organization Review (MOR), published by the International Association for Chinese Management Research (IACMR) with selected China-related articles from other leading journals. All the summaries have been approved by the authors of the original articles.

In addition, in some issues, we will publish one or two executive perspectives on their management philosophy and best management practices of their companies.

CMI online version was launched on Oct. 1, 2011. The new articles are released on the first of each month. Based on demand, we will publish a print issue every three to six months with the first issue in January 2012, covering the online articles from October to December 2011.
