Journal of Management Inquiry (JMI)

The Journal of Management Inquiry (JMI) is an internationally recognized quarterly journal established in 1992 and published by SAGE Publications in collaboration with the Western Academy of Management. It serves as a platform for pioneering research in management that goes beyond traditional positivist approaches, placing special emphasis on qualitative, exploratory, and innovative scholarship. The journal distinguishes itself by welcoming contributions that are reflective, boundary-challenging, and generative—aiming to stimulate academic conversation rather than merely report empirical findings. JMI encourages submissions in a variety of formats and thematic sections, such as curated dialogues, empirical investigations with qualitative depth, essays, generative curiosity pieces, interviews with influential thinkers, and provocations aimed at rethinking managerial assumptions. Its interdisciplinary scope includes organizational behavior, management theory, strategy, ethics, entrepreneurship, and diversity, among other areas, reflecting the complexity of contemporary organizational life. The journal’s editors-in-chief and editorial board include leading international scholars who uphold rigorous peer review while valuing creativity and theoretical novelty. Indexed in major databases like Scopus and the Social Sciences Citation Index, JMI maintains relevance for both scholars engaged in theoretical innovation and practitioners interested in conceptual insights with real-world implications.
