Aims & Scope

Management Review Quarterly (MRQ) is a double-blind, peer-reviewed journal that specializes in interpretative literature reviews and meta-analyses in business and management research. MRQ covers most areas of business and management research including accounting, business information systems, corporate finance, corporate governance, entrepreneurship, family firms, marketing, operations research and production, strategy, supply chain management, sustainability, and taxation. MRQ aims to assess, categorize, aggregate, and (most importantly!) interpret knowledge in management and business research. MRQ emphasizes the crucial role of human expertise in interpreting the results of reviews. It prioritizes insightful and interpretative analysis and does not publish purely descriptive or bibliographic literature reviews. MRQ aims to connect management research with management practice. It particularly welcomes literature reviews that address topics and questions of high practical relevance.
